I use nativeprocess api in AIR to launch a c++ console app. The console app runs correctly but does not appear, but I want it to be visible and user be able to interact with it. How can I achieve that?

Instead of launching your executable directly, you'll need to launch your platform's terminal application (on Windows, that's CMD.exe, on OS-X it's Terminal.app, and on unix/linux it's xterm).
By default, the terminal application will run an interactive shell prompt, but you can use command-line arguments to tell it to execute any other program instead. In this case, you'll want to tell it to execute your C++ console application.
On Windows, this might look something like this:
CMD.exe /K C:\path\to\your\app.exe
on OS-X, it's a little more complicated. Here's a related S.O. post ( Running a command in a new Mac OS X Terminal window)
