When Adobe support IPhone?

Report · Dec 06, 2007

You're asking the wrong company :)

Adobe continues to have a strong relationship with Apple. And naturally we believe that support for Flash is essential for any mobile device that wants to deliver a great customer experience.

Because the iPhone is an Apple product, we suggest that folks speak to Apple about what technologies the iPhone will support and integrate.

I'm guessing after February 2008 when Apple releases a "real" SDK for 3rd party developers to run their applications on the iPhone we'll see Apple allow Adobe to put the Flash Player on the iPhone. That's just my educated guess though, March 2008.

This is not something that Adobe can address. The iPhone is, for now, a completely closed OS. We cannot create a Flash Player for it. And it remains to be seen what the SDK will brink in the late winter....

So yes, you do have to ask Apple. It's entirely up to them. Believe me, I'd love to see it. I have two iPhones since they came out, and it's frustrating to me too.

Now that the iPhone 3G has opened their OS for 3rd party developement can we expect to see a Flash Player for the iPhone? You guys should have had a Flash Player ready to roll the day the iPhone 3G hit the stores. They had opened up their OS and released an SDK for 3rd party developers long before their product hit the stores. This is something iPhone 3G owners like myself search for on a daily basis. It is needed that badly. Without it we can not access sites like Hulu.com and other multimedia powerhouses that utilize flash. I myself code in flash and my sites are not available to iPhone users as a result. The longer you delay the more developers like myself have to consider recoding their websites without flash inorder to reach the iPhone market. We will not wait for you forever. You need to have fire lit under you to get this moving.

While that's a true statement, Apple did open up "parts" of their OS and released the SDK, they did not open all of it up, in particular Safari, which needs to be accessible for Flash to run within. Again, this is (as much as I love their products) and Apple issue, not an Adobe issue. Despite the mis-interpretation of the Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen comments, although to be fair, he probably didn't understand what the SDK would or would not do.

Can't tell you how cheated I feel that my iPhone did not come with Flash Support (and that the GPS App they hyped so much in the commercial only half works). With those two improvements it would be an amazing product...til then I feel ripped off. Apple and you guys really have had plenty of time to iron this out. The fact that you haven't has me seathing.

We are developing a large on-line project based on flash technology. And now we are planning to port the project to mobile devices. We will use Flash Lite for that. But because information about the Flash Player + iPhone platform hang in the air - somebody say that the version being developed, while others say it is not possible, we need to decide whether to use flash technology more directly, or use the iPhone SDK. And it would help us version flash player for the iPhone, or at least some firsthand information about work on them to plan our work.

As you probably already know, Apple had produced a free SDK for iPhone ( http://developer.apple.com/iphone/), and recent information from official sources on the development of Flash Player for iPhone obsolete. Therefore become an urgent need to update the information in this regard. 🙂
