can you please help me guys , my app size is already large , it's 12MB , so with the embeded runtime it will be 20MB and this is too large >__<


Solution

  • No can do! You can't reduce the size of the integrated Runtime. You can offer both versions. .air for users with AIR installed and a captive version. Nowadays a 12mb or even a 20mb app shouldnt be a problem. Depending on what your app actually does, 12mb can be much or not. Im guessing u can reduce the app size itself (i.e. externalizing assets depending on resolution, ... )
