Adobe has dumped Flash on mobile. A sure sign that Flash will be dropped on the desktop, too, as developers aren't going to want to have to maintain two workflows.
To support Flash means you are supporting a proprietary software tool and the company behind it, selling development tools.
The tools and implementations might not be up to par with Flash but that's today. The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow .....
- samsonradu 10y agoI think it was the other way around, Adobe didn't dump Flash on mobile. Also until the "sun comes out tomorrow" why can't a part of the market (smaller/bigger) enjoy the better experience that Flash offers and HTML5 cannot? (animations, games, livestreaming and so on)
- toomanythings2 10y agoFrom 2011: Adobe ends mobile Flash development, will focus on HTML5 Adobe will no longer update its Flash plugin for mobile browsers, though it will continue to issue security updates and bug fixes. The company issued a statement to developers conceding that "HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively," adding "that makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms." http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/9/2549196/adobe-flash-android-blackberry http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/9/2549196/adobe-flash-androi...

- ygjb-dupe 10y agoAdobe does not currently ship a mobile flash client. See http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html for currently supported clients. Apple didn't dump support for flash on mobile, they simply opted not to support it (for very good reasons).
