An additional feature which is targeted at the use of Android on PC-style devices is the support for middle and right mouse events on that platform. Both Android and iOS now have support for UI activity detection via the NativeApplication ‘userIdle’ and ‘userPresent’ event mechanism.
To aid in debugging and troubleshooting, we have also added enhanced debug output from the runtime when some activities such as runtime/app installations or platform conversion (for ‘bundle’ creation) are happening. These can currently only be detected via a separate utility app, but the intention is to add this also into the AIR SDK Manager.
Continuing the troubleshooting approach, another new feature is an internal set of ‘diagnostics’ capabilities which will allow applications to find out more details about the behaviour of the AIR runtime under certain scenarios. Initially this is focused on helping to find problems with garbage collection and also with ANRs on Android. Further details are found in section 10, and we expect to add further capabilities to this mechanism to help applications to self-report issues.
Bug fixes include a better (and more extensive) fix for the iOS 18 fallback font problems, a problem with navigateToURL on iOS 18, and Android updates to reduce ANRs as well as to remove a CPU usage issue on ARMv7 devices.
