Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of AIR is available for immediate download. This release of AIR provides both security and functional bug fixes.
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 20. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
The AIR shared runtime and SDK are now fully 64-bit on OSX! With AIR 20, all Mac AIR applications will be 64-bit compatible. If you require 32-bit compatibility for OSX, please continue to use AIR 19 to create captive runtime applications. For Windows developers, we hope to have a 64-bit solution out to our beta channel in the near future.
- Video rotation information available to ActionScript
The Flash runtime will now process the track header box and movie header box metadata correctly, allowing for correct positioning and sizing of video.
We’ve updated AIR with the latest Android SDK version (24.3.4). This will allow us to implement the latest features available to Android (in particular, Android TV support currently in our AIR beta).
The AIR Runtime is now built with the iOS 9 SDK which enables AIR developers to use ANEs built with iOS 9 APIs without using the –platformSDK switch when packaging with ADT. In iOS9, Apple has introduced App Transport Security (ATS) which blocks unsecure connections between App and Web services. Due to this change, all connections made to unsecure web sites via Loader and URLLoader are now blocked by default and will not work due to App Transport Security. Please specify exceptions to the default behavior by adding keys to the InfoAdditions tag of your app's application descriptor.

- SecureSocket support for iOS
SecureSocket support has been available for the desktop and Android platforms, but wasn’t implemented on iOS. With AIR 20, this has been remedied and developers can now take advantage of this feature on all platforms, for both Flash Player and AIR.
- Stage3D instanced drawing
We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the lives of our developers. Our Stage3d API’s have allowed developers to create incredibly beautiful and fluid performing games. This new API will leverage the GPU on mobile devices and provides improved performance when drawing similar objects numerous times in a scene.
Fixed Issues:
- ADL quits unexpectedly in certain sceanrios [4092617]

- [iOS ] "This build is invalid" error in iTunesConnect while uploading app
- This issue has been fixed on Mac. To package the app correctly, so that it gets uploaded to iTunesConnect without any errors, the developer needs to perform following
- Add certificate in the Keychain Access of the Mac and provide necessary permission to it while adt accesses the certificate.
- If doing a remote login (ssh) for packaging the app, an extra command is required. Security unlock <home>/Library/Keychains/login.keychain for successful packaging.
