If Apple allows the flash player on the iphone, it could lose some business from the app store. \u00a0Games are the best selling application in the app store and remember, Apple gets 30% of each sale. Also, Apple has full control over what can and cannot be ran on the iphone. (jailbreakers and pwners excepted) By allowing a Flash player, they would lose that control. \u00a0Also, look and feel, a very important concern to Apple. A flash player would be a sub platform with a wild wild west attitude. If you look at just how limited the SDK is for accessing OS level commands, I cannot imagine why Apple would expose itself to potential headaches of a subplatform that will not make the phone anymore popular nor make Apple anymore money. They have enough headaches of their own with OS2.x. \u00a0Adding Flash, or Java or anything else is just more headache for no reward.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been a flash programmer since the days of Flash 4. \u00a0I know I can write a flash app to work on the iphone given the specs. \u00a0I was able to do it on the ipaq so I&#8217;m sure I can do it on the iphone. However, given how heavy flash applications have become, most flash apps out there most likely will not work. \u00a0What Adobe needs is something like flash lite but a bit more capable. \u00a0Perhaps start with flash 6. \u00a0I was able to develop full flung flash application in Flash 6 back in the day, some on the IPAQ, so I know it can be done.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has no intentions of opening up the iphone anytime soon. \u00a0The only thing I would watch for is the flash player somehow getting out to the jailbreak users. \u00a0Then we&#8217;ll see if it can be done or not. \u00a0But even then.. wait for it&#8230; wait for it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>P.S. \u00a0Just to be clear, I would LOVE to see flash on the iphone. \u00a0ObjectiveC is just not my friend.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H3>Related Posts<\/H3><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Why my Tesla M3 feels like my first iPhone and my M3day plus 30.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2018\/05\/why-my-tesla-m3-feels-like-my-first-iphone-and-my-m3day-plus-30\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Why my Tesla M3 feels like my first iPhone and my M3day plus 30.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"The Bidding For An iPhone 6 Prototype On eBay Is Up To $94,000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2014\/10\/the-bidding-for-an-iphone-6-prototype-on-ebay-is-up-to-94000\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">The Bidding For An iPhone 6 Prototype On eBay Is Up To $94,000<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Apple patent application reinvents remote control for the smartphone age\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2014\/10\/apple-patent-application-reinvents-remote-control-for-the-smartphone-age\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Apple patent application reinvents remote control for the smartphone age<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"iOS 8.0.1 May Have A Link To Apple Maps Fail From 2012\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/ios-8-0-1-may-have-a-link-to-apple-maps-fail-from-2012\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">iOS 8.0.1 May Have A Link To Apple Maps Fail From 2012<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Where to? updated and on sale.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/where-to-updated-and-on-sale\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Where to? updated and on sale.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep waiting&#8230;. \u00a0From\u00a0flashmagazine At the Flash On The Beach (FOTB) conference in Brighton, Sr. Director of Engineering at Adobe Systems Paul Betlem, confirmed that Adobe is indeed developing a Flash Player for the iPhone.
