Mark, Thanks for the reply. Your answer sheds some more light on the fact that the Flex SDK is really independent from Android, but only tied via Air.
Sorry if I'm not asking the right questions, I'm new to mobile development and still trying to wrap my head around it. Not sure if I should stick with Flex (which is what I want) or go down the rabbit hole with native code. Will Apache be making an effort to update/add/create "native extensions" for IOS and Android? Or do I have this all wrong? If there's a resource I should read, please point me in the right direction.

Just Apache/open source community Flex apps required adobe air to run on mobile (android and iOS). The current version of air (3.7) requires android 2.3 and above. I think you can target older air versions to lower the minimal version of android. If you just wanted to write in pure as3 you can look at other solutions (hax, playscript, starling and feathers) On 8 May 2013 18:17, "Joseph Hayes" <joseph_ha...@co.washington.or.us> wrote: > Hello, > > > > I've been developing apps in Flex for a couple years now and I love it. > I'm thinking about some mobile development now.
