Do you have any native extension that works in Haxe ?

[marchbold]

Nothing publicly available that works natively in Haxe, you can use them with the AIR/Flash output though I believe.

Is there something in particular you are looking for? We have done work in Haxe for clients before.

A Major Upgrade for AIR Extensions! New Payment System and Custom Development Work

Over the past six months, we’ve been working closely with Harman to bring a smarter, more efficient dependency system to AIR. Our new approach replaces embedded dependencies with Gradle dependencies, making extension management easier, faster, and more resilient.

What this means for you:

• Smaller extension file sizes – Free up space & streamline your builds
• Faster compilation times – Get things done in record time
• Much simpler manual manifest additions – Spend less time on setup
• Better dependency resolution – Seamless updates and fewer conflicts
• Improved compatibility – Extensions work together more smoothly

These improvements happen behind the scenes, making everything more stable and maintainable. But you’ll definitely notice the difference with smaller files, fewer manifest changes, and much faster builds. 🚀

Oh my goodness, that sounds fantastic! Looking forward to upgrading!

Very nice! I update end of last year and the compile times (IntelliJ) went up several 100% (not exaggerating here!) as the annoying extraction of the ANE's is now remarkably faster!
Great Job 🍻
