  When iOS was released it was illegal for Apple to implement a mechanism to execute SWF files: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF#Licensing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF#Licensing

    I'm sure they could have worked w/ Adobe to create a version of Flash Player for iOS; just like Adobe did for Android and Blackberry.

      And how did those perform?

        Blackberry designed their whole OS and app development ecosystem around Flash / AIR. It performed surprisingly well, but obviously their devices was not successful in the marketplace. Android was hit or miss depending upon the specs of the device.
