New Tutorial: iOS Packaging on Windows
If you’re developing AIR apps on Windows and need to build for iOS, check out our new guide on how to package iOS applications using Windows.
Packaging iOS applications on Windows is not supported by Apple, however, the AIR SDK has been able to get around this for a long time by creating stubs of the iOS SDK and using a specially packaged version of the open source Apple linker.
This tutorial goes through some additional configuration that you may need to do in order to get extensions packaging and linking correctly on Windows.

Display
The Display extension is a new extension I'm working on to address the aging display modes and keyboard integration in the Application extension.
This new extension aims to use the more modern approach around managing display modes and monitoring the keyboard. Currently I have it working on the majority of cases but as with anything associated with Android there are a lot of edge cases that need to be addressed and handled in the code. I'm currently working through as many of these as I find.
If you are interested in helping me test this new extension, please reach out! I'd appreciate your involvement and help in identifying edge cases.
