The same is for Windows 8.1. Windows RT based systems (those with an ARM processor instead of an Intel based processor) can only run browser-based Flash/Flex apps. All other versions of Windows for tablets, laptops or desktops support the Flash Player and AIR based applications. Adobe has stated that at this time, there is no plans to support Windows Phone for either Flash or AIR based apps due to the small (and decreasing) userbase.
