Here goes my first question. I sure hope i'm doing it right.
I've searched the web for this and found evidence of the Wired app being compiled with Adobe Flash but that's about it. There's a lot of talk on the Adobe website singing its praises but are Apple allowing these apps onto the App Store these days with the CS 5.5 update?
So, can anyone estimate how many apps floating around on the App Store that are written with Adobe Air? Any examples would be great too.
Thanks a lot Alistair
Yes, AIR based apps are accepted in the App Store if they meet the general requirements. Apps are no longer rejected for not being developed using "Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine", that demand has been removed.
There's quite a few games developed using AIR in the App Store, for example MeteorStorm, Gridshock, Chroma Circuit and Pyramix (Pyramix has been "featured" by Apple, see http://blog.theflashblog.com/?p=2740).
So mostly games, I don't know of many non-game apps, besides TouchUp Pro - Photo Editor, http://itunes.apple.com/app/id439242122, that also has been among the "featured" apps.
