With AIR 30, the C++ Compiler has been upgraded to Standard C++14 in the AIR Runtime. For more information, please refer to https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/cpp14.

For AIR 30, the NDK for Android has been upgraded to Android NDK, Revision 16b (December 2017). More information is available at https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/revision_history.

Significant changes have been made in the tools used to build the runtime, but this should not affect any functionality on Android or iOS. If you encounter any performance or functional issues, please raise them on the AIR developer forums and our bug tracker.

In response to a class of recently disclosed vulnerabilities in popular CPU hardware related to data cache timing (CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5754), known popularly as Spectre and Meltdown, we are disabling the ‘shareable’ property of the ActionScript ByteArray class by default. Administrators can turn this feature back on using the following MMS properties:

EnableInsecureByteArrayShareable

Short Description:
Allows Administrators to override the Flash Player 30 and above default behavior of restricting the “shareable” property of the ActionScript ByteArray API class.

Detailed Description:
EnableInsecureByteArrayShareable = [0,1] (0=false, 1=true)

This setting will allow Administrators to override the Flash Player 30 and above default behavior of restricting the “shareable” property of the ActionScript ByteArray API class. Shared ByteArrays are used to share data between threads with ActionScript “Workers.” Shared ByteArrays are an advanced feature of the ActionScript API set and not commonly used in the vast majority of published Flash content. For increased security, we recommend administrators leave this feature disabled.

EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain

Short Description:
Allows Administrators to override the Flash Player 30 and above default behavior of restricting the “shareable” property of the ActionScript ByteArray API class on a per-domain basis.

Detailed Description:
EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain = domain name or IP address

Adobe Flash Player For Mac

By default, Flash Player 30 and above will no longer allow the “shareable” property of the ActionScript ByteArray API class. The EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain settings provide exceptions to that rule. Administrators can create a “white list” of approved domain names or IP addresses to which the EnableInsecureByteArrayShareable setting will apply. If the active security context is in the list of domains and IP addresses, then access to the sharable ByteArray property will be allowed. Otherwise, sharable ByteArray access will be denied.

For domain names, prefixing a * wildcard is allowed. For example, *.adobe.com would allow all Flash content with the “shareable” property to run on www.adobe.com, get.adobe.com, helpx.adobe.com, and so on. Wildcards are not allowed when specifying IP addresses.

For example, the following settings allow SWFs using the shareable ByteArray property to only run on servers at www.mydomain.com and 10.1.1.10:

EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain=www.mydomain.com
EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain=10.1.1.10

For domain names, prefixing a * wildcard is allowed.

Example:

EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain=*.mydomain.com

This would allow all Flash content with the “shareable” property to run on www.mydomain.com, foo.mydomain.com, and so on. Wildcards are not allowed when specifying IP addresses.

EventJitterMicroseconds

Setting this value to 0 disables an important mitigation for Spectre and Meltdown (CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5754) style attacks, but may improve application performance in some limited circumstances.

Authoring for Flash Player 30

To use the new Flash Player, you will need to target SWF version 41 by passing '-swf-version=41' as an extra compiler argument to the ASC 2.0 compiler. Detailed directions are below.

• Download the new playerglobal.swc for Flash Player 30
• Download and install Flash Builder 4.7 from Creative Cloud: https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash-builder
• Backup the existing AIR SDK if you need to restore it later then replace the bundled AIR SDK with the AIR 30 SDK. To do this, unzip the AIR 30 SDK to this location:
  • MacOS: /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.348297/AIRSDK
  • Windows: C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64Bit)eclipsepluginscom.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722AIRSDK
• In Flash Builder, create a new project: File -> New -> project.
• Open the project Properties panel (right-click and chose 'Properties').
• Select ActionScriptCompiler from the list on the left.
• Add '-swf-version=41' to the 'Additional compiler arguments' field.
  • This ensures the outputted SWF targets SWF version 41. If you compile on the command-line and not in Flash Builder, you need to add the same compiler argument.
• Ensure you have installed the new Flash Player 30 build in your browser.

Authoring for AIR 30Update to the AIR 30 namespace

You must update your application descriptor file to the 30 namespace in order to access the new AIR 30 APIs and behavior. If your application does not require the new AIR 30 APIs and behavior, you are not required to update the namespace. However, we recommend all users start using the AIR 30 namespace even if you are not yet taking advantage of the new 30 capabilities. To update the namespace, change the xmlns attribute in your application descriptor to: <application xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/30.0'>

Flash Player and AIR may leverage your graphics hardware to decode and play H.264 video. There may be video issues that can only be reproduced with your particular graphics hardware and driver. When reporting an issue involving video, it is essential to note your graphics hardware and driver, along with your operating system and browser (when using Flash Player), so that we can reproduce and investigate issues. Please be sure to include this information as described in Instructions for Reporting Video Playback Issues. Note: Due to the high volume of email we receive, we are unable to respond to every request.
