If you ever publish an Android app using Adobe AIR, you’ll notice that the application ID is automatically prefixed “air.”, for example air.com.company.appname. This is to enable Adobe to track apps created using Adobe AIR in app stores like Google Play and Amazon Appstore.

If you want to opt-out of Adobe’s analytics, or just don’t want an “air.” prefix on your app ID, simply add the following environment variable to your system settings or build script:

AIR_NOANDROIDFLAIR=true

Restart your IDE and that’s it!

Unfortunately, opting-out of Adobe AIR app analytics on iOS is rather more complicated.
