I'm using Adobe Flash CS5 with Adobe Air 2.5 to build an air app.
Is there a way to make use of the Air 3 captive runtime feature? Do I need additional software to publish the Air app with the captive runtime?
Captive Runtime is not yet integrated into the Flash Pro IDE. You'll have to package your app using the command line tools available in the free AIR SDK.
Some more info is here; basically when you compile your app be sure to specify the target parameter. To create an Android APK, you would use this:
-target apk-captive-runtime
More info on options is here

On the qt-project web-site there're available sources as for porting QML to iOS, Android.
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/portingtoandroid.html
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/porting-to-ios.html
It appears to be easy.
Is it so for Windows Phone as well?
Is it so for any other platform?
Qt Project has a Qt for WinRT tutorial providing a step-by-step process to build applications for Windows 8 based devices. Basically to resume the tutorial :
You need the appropriate windows runtime
You may have to build Qt from source for that runtime library
You develop and compile Qt as you would do for a desktop app
You have an additional step for packaging the application.
I have AIR application that i have created. One of my customers wants me to give him a CD that will automatically install the application with computer that has no AIR runtime installed.
How can i create an automatic installer that can install the AIR runtime and my AIR application easily?
Thanks in advance,
Lior
With AIR 3 you can create an installer using Captive Runtime, which makes it so that your app no longer has a dependency to the AIR runtime. That will probable be your easiest best option. More info
Additionally, you could sign up for a redistribution license of Adobe AIR which gives you permission to do that. Along with that, I believe they offer instructions on how do a headless/invisible install of the AIR runtime. Then you'll have to create your own installer which will perform the headless AIR install along with your own AIR app.
I am trying to package air runtime and air application in a native installer.
i googled a lot on how to achive the same. i found this link http://kuriakosejacobthomas.blogspot.com/2009/10/bundled-deployment-of-adobe-air_13.html
which says u need ' AIR bundled runtime installer' to package air runtime with air application.
But havn't found any air bundled runtime installer. from where i can download 'AIR bundled runtime installer' ?
OR suggest any alternative way to package the air runtime with air application except badge from web page.
I am trying to create AIR native installer bundled with AIR runtime for windows, Mac and Linux operating system??
Thanks!
You have two options.
The first is to sign up for the AIR Redistribution program. This will give you access and permission to bundle and distribute the AIR runtime into your own installer.
The second is to use AIR 3 and Captive Runtime feature which will bundle the runtime into your app.
i am trying to find out how to build my .as for mobile browser on Android 2.2 smartphone.
I downloaded latest distribution of "Hero" SDK, but all tutorials show only how to create mobile project with Flash Builder. Any idea how to build .swf from command line mxmlc for mobile ?
Thanks,

Taken from this page:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/mobile/faq.html
Can I build mobile applications using only Flex SDK "Hero" without Flash Builder "Burrito"?
Yes. However, in order to get your application onto a device for testing, you will need to install the Android SDK, and use a combination of the Adobe AIR SDK command-line packaging tool and the Android SDK's "adb" tool.

Haven't done this myself but that looks right.
Good luck,

Hello StackOverflow community,
Is there any way to package the installer for an Adobe AIR application using Adobe AIR 1.5 as an executable (.EXE) file?
I found that this is possible for Adobe AIR 2.0, but it requires an upgrade to Adobe AIR 2.0 runtime. Are there any other options using the Adobe AIR 1.5 runtime?
Thanks,
Mauricio
You can join the program to redistribute the AIR Runtime.
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_agreement.html
I believe joining the program also provides you additional information about installing the AIR app and possibly the AIR runtime silently.
I think if you execute an AIR program with the '-silent' attribute you will get a silent install. Something similar at one point worked, at least, and I'm not sure of the exact command line argument.
Once you have those to things in place, it should be easy to launch the AIR runtime and/or AIR App installer from your own executable installer. There should be plenty of programs for creating the installer.
I think this could be done with the silent install method and a bit of scripting. If you needed to install the runtime at the same time you would need to sign up for the AIR Runtime Distribution agreement. I'm not sure what benefit you would gain over the normal AIR installation tho.
Nope, AIR 2.0 only.
No. There is no known way to package an Adobe AIR application as a native executable installer. You would have to do it with the .air package installation only, if you want AIR 1.5.
