Flex SDK 4.5 support?

[RoyceSimpson]

All clear to load up Flash Builder 4.5/SDK 4.5 for use with the API?

[PierreLermusieaux]

As we are about to start the actual development of a new project that will use the latest Esri Flex API, we are wondering if there are any progress in respect to the official Esri support for Flex 4.5.

Is there a likely time frame for the Esri certification of the Flex 4.5 SDK?

Are there any major issues (that require extensive work-around coding) encovered so far while using Flex 4.5 SDK in conjonction with the Flex API 2.3.1?

Thank you

The existing 2.3.1 release works with Flex SDK 4.5 (and 4.5.1) - though there's a few things to keep in mind, especially if working with mobile (Android, iOS) devices.

There is a good article on the Adobe Developer connection about "Building an Android and iOS mobile mapping application using the ArcGIS API for Flex"
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash-builder/articles/mobile-mapping-app-arcgis.html

Recently, Adobe TV also posted an episode about "munitracker" showing the existing Flex API on multiple devices:

But ... while it is possible to use the existing 2.3.1 with the Adobe Flex 4.5 SDK, our next version (2.4) will make it even easier, as well as better for mobile applications. Our plans are to release version 2.4 next month (July).

For different topics, it is usually better to create new "threads" 🙂
