## Description:
Apache Flex is an application framework for easily building Flash-based applications for mobile devices, the browser and desktop.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Flex runtimes
The available, free to use Flex runtimes are the Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR.
In 2017, Adobe already announced the EOL of the Flash Player for the end of 2020.
Since June 2019, Harman has undertaken AIR platform support and feature development.
Harman provides AIR on a commercial basis, with a free version available for certain eligible individuals/companies. [1]
Users can subscribe to the Harman mailing list in order to get the latest AIR related news.
## Activity:
Activity on the mailing lists among the users decreased by about an average of 50% the previous three months.
It's obvious that the upcoming EOL of the FlashPlayer has an impact on Flex and its user base.
Some folks migrate to AIR and stick with Flex, others porting their apps to other technologies.
