Adobe AIR 51.1.3.4

Adobe AIR 是由 HARMAN 接手維護的跨作業系統執行環境，讓開發者能把同一份程式碼打包成 Windows、macOS 桌面應用程式，以及 iOS、Android 行動裝置上的原生應用程式。它最大的特色在於讓熟悉 Flash、Flex、HTML、JavaScript 等網頁技術的開發者，不必重新學習原生語言，就能打造具備網路連線能力的桌面應用程式。這套 runtime 在市場上已存在多年，目前仍持續提供更新，屬於同類工具中評價普遍不錯、但不算最熱門的選擇。

這套軟體適合需要把既有網頁技術轉換為桌面應用程式、或想用單一程式碼涵蓋多平台的開發者。與 Google Chrome、Java JRE 等替代方案相比，Adobe AIR 更聚焦在富網路應用程式（RIA）的打包與部署，而非瀏覽器或通用執行環境，取捨上需考量其生態系已不如全盛時期活躍。它提供免費授權，支援 macOS 與 Windows 平台，但介面僅有英文，使用前需留意語系需求。

The Adobe AIR (from HARMAN) for Mac runtime enables developers to package the same code into native applications and games for Windows and Mac OS desktops as well as iOS and Android devices, reaching over a billion desktop systems and mobile app stores for over 500 million devices.

Adobe AIR for macOS is a cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) to the desktop.

Companies like eBay and AOL are using this program to create exciting new applications that allow you to use their services on your desktop. In short, the app means applications that are easier, more powerful, and more fun to use.

Be safe on the web: this tool helps ensure safe installations by requiring digital signatures on each AIR application that identifies the application and its creator before you install it. Download, Install, or Update Adobe Air for Mac!

For MacOS, we recommend uninstalling an existing version 32 or earlier, prior to installing this, as the file locations have had to change due to Apple's notarisation requirements.
