Thank you for using Adobe AIR Marketplace. When we established Adobe AIR Marketplace three years ago, there were few distribution opportunities for AIR developers. There are now several app stores on desktops, mobile devices and tablets that service AIR developers including Apple App Store, Android Market, BlackBerry App World, Intel AppUp center, Samsung Apps, and Toshiba App Place.
After careful consideration, Adobe has decided to discontinue development and support of Adobe AIR Marketplace. We are, therefore, not accepting any new applications into Adobe AIR Marketplace. The Adobe AIR Marketplace will be shut down on August 31, 2011. We encourage you to use these newer popular app stores to distribute your applications. As before, Adobe will continue to provide the best technologies and solutions so that developers and publishers can create, distribute and monetize content.
