Feature Description

Windows 10 ARM native support by AIR essential for new tablet and IoT devices that used in education, enterprise, retail etc.

Right now AIR works only if compiled as 32-bit application and running via x86 emulation by Windows 10 ARM with extremely low performance.
AIR 64-bit application not launches at all (with system error that application cannot be started on your PC). Also natively AIR applications compilation for ARM64 and start up with Windows 10 ARM not supported right now.
You can test it with Microsoft Surface or Raspberry Pi 4 devices with Windows 10 ARM.

Please consider to provide new ARM64 target support for Windows 10 by AIR applications.

With the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, a Windows ARM64 native support is-it planned ?

@ajwfrost we have a customer asking about Snapdragon ARM chips support for our Windows builds. Is there a likelihood of such support?

Hi

It's been on our plan for a while, but our IT department had been struggling to source the appropriate hardware for it ..! But having just checked the licensing situation, we are now set up with Windows 11 running in a VM on an Apple-silicon mac...

So yes, timescales perhaps looking at early next year, I would like to get this into our 51.2 release but failing that it will be in 52.0..

thanks
