The beta 2 release provides access to the AIR 3.4 runtime and SDK for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. The key features and benefits of AIR 3.4 are:
- iOS 5.1 SDK Support — Build your AIR on iOS applications by default with iOS 5.1 SDK (without using the --platformsdk switch) and leverage the enhancements available in iOS 5.1 SDK.
- Exception Support in Native Extensions for iOS — A native extension for iOS can now use both C++ and Objective-C exceptions.
- iOS Push Notifications — This feature will use APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) and a provider (third-party server which will communicate with the APN) to generate notifications.
- AIR direct deployment (without iTunes) — Deploy an AIR application on iOS devices without having to use iTunes or the iPhone configuration utility.
