Adobe Air
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
An AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) file is an installer package file that stores web-based applications programmed using ActionScript or Apache Flex. They're usually ZIP-compressed and can be used across all desktop and mobile operating systems that support the Adobe AIR runtime, like Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and BlackBerry Tablet OS. [1][2] Adobe dropped support at the end of 2020[3] and transferred support to Harman.[4]Originally codenamed "Apollo".[5]
