    As of now sadly no as Apple does not support Flash Player and you need flash player to interact with FMS

    Hi Rudresh, out of curiosity: I never used a mac (hack I haven't even seen one yet, we don't get it here, in Ukraine), but does Apple restrict the Flash Player as anactivex/plugin or the executable/projector? In other words, does iPad use some sort of properietary monitoring (codenamed "KillFlash") or does it simply not let it through its, again proprietary, store?

    Hey hi Petro, first of all sorry for delayed response.

    Now coming to your query - Mac OS per se allows flash , i mean if you Mac machine flash would still work as its officially supported there as standalone, in authoring and as Safari Plug-in. Its only iPhone and iPad which don't support flash.

    Now how they block it - in order to play any flash content - you need to have FP Plug-in installed - and that is what iPad/iPhone won't allow you to install.

    And if I am not mistaken they do block Flash Apps on thier store too ( though i am not completely sure about this as I am not that expert in this area but high chances are there that i might be true , atleast till someone wiser corrects me )

    I hope my answer is helpful and gives little insight to what you asked
