The ActionScript & MXML extension for Visual Studio Code supports packaging Adobe AIR applications for deployment to Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. This includes exporting a release build that can be submitted to app stores and installed by users. You can also package an app for debugging on mobile devices using either wi-fi or USB.
