I have a potential client who has expressed some interest in an iOS app I am hoping to pick up with AIR. All of the features they want in the initial version are possible directly from AIR, but they are hesitant to commit to AIR in case they want to add native features somewhere down the road (no ideas on what those features might be, of course).
They have asked me to put together a compelling case for why AIR will allow us to do everything we could do natively. Buying native extensions wouldn't be an issue if it comes to that. Obviously I am aware of any native features that aren't included in AIR but are possible with ANEs (game center, iAd, email, etc). What I'm looking for is a list of any features that are available for native apps but aren't available in AIR or existing ANEs. Has anyone run into such features?
There is actually one feature they discussed possibly including that I'm not sure about. Is it possible to start a YouTube video playing over Airplay from within an AIR app? There's an AS3-Airplay library on Github but it hasn't been updated in two years and sounds unfinished.
Thanks for any help.
