Since the change to the module loader allowing modules to be loaded by
bytes...

... you don't have to supply the modules alongside the rest of the AIR
application. You can download them post installation and store them on
the filesystem yourself.

 

Which means you can minimise the AIR install to only the core
application, and only require an update if that core application
changes.

 

You can strip it down to nothing much more than a Preloader which sucks
in a module with your core application in it, leaving you with requiring
updates only for one class, but I suspect that Adobe wouldn't recommend
this as a best practice.

 

Gk.
