Adobe AIR is a powerful runtime environment enabling developers to build native applications and games for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android using a single codebase. This allows developers to leverage existing web development skills (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and ActionScript) to create high-performance applications that run outside a web browser. AIR provides access to device features like microphones, cameras, GPS, and accelerometers, making it a versatile cross-platform development tool.
