Just a flash in the pan then

Posted by Jethro Grassie on April 21, 2010

Just a quick follow-up to a post I made a while back iPhlash or just a flash in the pan.

Well as I suspected Apple were not going to let this happen blindly!
Mike Chambers has just announced Adobe will be removing this feature due to Apple’s latest SDK terms.

In fact what is almost humorous about this is that Apple have forced Adobe into removing this functionality just before Adobe publicly release their upcoming “give me another $1000″ (CS5).

    The relevant quote is:
    We will still be shipping the ability to target the iPhone and iPad in Flash CS5. However, we are not currently planning any additional investments in that feature.

    They won’t be removing it, per se.

    @Ash Fair point but really tantamount to same thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up removing it anyway as there could conceivably be legal battle over it.
    At the end of the day, Apple have yet again slammed the door at Adobe/Flash.
    Flash developers will not be able to legally develop/deploy CS5 output apps to iPhone/iPad
