Topic: juiceboxbuilder-pro snapdragon

Second post of the day.   I am considering getting another laptop running on snapdragon x elite.   Is juiceboxbuilder-pro compatible with this processor?

Re: juiceboxbuilder-pro snapdragon

I don't think the current Windows AIR runtime is compatible with Snapdragon processors. I don't know for sure, though.

According to this post over in the AIR GitHub Issues, AIR compatibility with Snapdragon processors is on Harman's roadmap but it looks like it may only be incorporated into the AIR v52 runtime and JuicboxBuilder-Pro requires AIR v33.1.1.744 (with WebKit support for the live gallery preview) which I expect might not be updated.

Essentially, AIR needs to be compatible with Snapdragon processors (which it doesn't currently seem to be) and JuiceboxBuilder-Pro needs a version of AIR with WebKit support (which was dropped after AIR v33).
It looks very much like, even when there is a compatible AIR runtime, JuiceboxBuilder-Pro would need to be rewritten with a different live gallery preview implementation, which seems unlikely at the moment.

If anyone has any further information on AIR and Snapdragon processors, please post here.
Thank you.
