Air Native Extensions
Welcome to the distriqt // air native extensions UserVoice site. This site is designed for you to leave feedback and suggestions on the native extensions, or even just to let us know how we are doing.
We are constantly looking for new extensions to develop so feel free to suggest ideas! We would love to know what you would like to see in our extensions, any enhancements or new extensions that we haven’t currently implemented.
Support
If you are looking for access to the extensions, documentation or dedicated support, all of that is now available through the dedicated air native extensions site:

Background download support
The goal here is to initiate a long running http download. From AS3 you will be able
to request that a URL be downloaded to a particular destination file and the ANE will
perform the download in the background.This will utilise the system download managers which may present a UI to the user
on particular OS versions.iOS:
- use a NSURLSessionDownloadTask to download in the background
- Will work in the background and foreground but not if the application
is terminated (due to an AIR limitation of launching into the
background)
- Extension will handle all application delegate…7 votesWe’ve done some initial investigation into this extension due to some recent requests.
If there’s more interest we will look into adding it to the development schedule.

Advanced Keyboard Options
The AIR APIs don't really give you much control over the native keyboards (I'm particularly referring to iOS here). It'd be nice to be able to have some more control over the onscreen keyboard e.g. adding a decimal place to the numpad, or adding next/prev tab buttons and a done button above the keyboard.
46 votesHi,
We are currently investigating what we can provide here. Intercepting the input from AIR can be troublesome however we may be able to provide some options.
If anyone has any specific bugs or issues they need addressed, please drop a comment describing the situation.
Cheers

Proximity sensor

2 votesNothing available currently, we’ll look into the API and see what we can provide.

Ambient light sensor
It would be nice to have access to the ambient light sensor so that we can adjust the app interface according to the outside light. It can be useful for navigation apps, where "night mode" with dark interface gives a better user experience in low light conditions.

Flash StageText "The missing functionalities" (specially important in TextInput)
Flash StageText has a few problems which are specially important when using the TextInput in starling. This could be resolved with an ANE, 1-The positioning, 2-The stageText does't resize when in multiline the text grows, 3- It does't return any measurements of the textSize inside the StageText. 4-It's impossible to skin the clear button (Even just to colorize it would be great!), 5- Resizing the clear button is also difficult
More details about the positioning, point 1: Flash StageText finds difficult the positioning of itself when using Starling. When StageText is implemented as part of a Starling object its coordinates…

Add the option to attach images to SMS Message (MMS)
When using the Message ANE, you can add an attachment to the email. It would be nice if we could add a picture to the SMS message and make a MMS message

Game Controller Support for iOS
Support MFi Game Controllers for iOS:
3 votesWe are currently reviewing developing a GameController ANE to access the iOS GameController framework.
If you have any recommendations as to what test devices we should be using that would be greatly appreciated.
Or if you have any priorities with the development, feel free to let us know.

Apple Watch support
Are you checking out Apple Watch? Would be nice if AIR apps could read the Watch hardware, and to have the Watch app remotely control the AIR app.
25 votesI believe this will require input from the AIR team to be able to write Watch apps.
I don’t believe there’s a lot we can do from an ANE here.

MediaPlayer - background color
It would be great if we could set the frame color that flicker before the video starts (currently it is black)
5 votesCurrently looking into the available options for setting a background colour.
We haven’t done this as yet as it’s not an obvious setting provided by the native players.

Twitter ANE
What?
ANE that integrates with the official iOS SDK and makes use of the single sign on.
Why?
Improve the users experience. Improve the quality of Adobe Air apps.
15 votesWe are currently in discussions with the team at fabric and discussing our best options in terms of providing a usable ANE here.
There are some issues with the way the fabric (and hence Twitter) SDK is distributed that we are addressing.
We will update as soon as we have more information.
