you could develop in Flash and bypass the App Store.
Well, if Apple were making a bulk of money from App Store this point would hold. But Apple does not: they are making money on hardware. Anything that helps to sell hardware is good. Flash would make iP* seem unreliable and battery hungry—bad. Hence, no Flash.
- juhgfghjklkjhg 17y agoFlash means that a killer app/sitethat got famous on the back of iPhone/iPad sales would next year be available on any phone. Apple aren't in the business of letting other people into their market - it's exactly the same reason MS tried to replace Java with an MS-only C#
