I mean, I'd wager that if this person says they "met Apple's requirements" then that's probably because they actually had Apple sign off on a long list of requirements that were indeed met, in a formal fashion. When you're working on a project of that size/importance, with companies that large, you don't typically casually say you "met the requirements" without that having been validated by the customer/partner. That said, I could indeed imagine that behind the scenes Apple had reservations about security which contributed to the canceling of the partnership. Heck, I bet there are lots of reasons that we probably won't get to hear about unless someone involved with that on Apple's side posts about it.

I mean no one from Adobe’s side has posted anything. For all we know it could be someone trolling with an anonymous account. By now I might have expected some actual reporting about this if it was at the point where Apple had formally given Adobe a list off requirements. That would be different and you wouldn’t expect to see Steve Jobs blasting Flash continually into 2010. Let’s take it at face value though. I’m also clear that in large companies like these, rumors abound. It could be a junior engineer who misunderstood and these weren’t actually requirements from Apple and it was internal requirements. Could also be stories part of the team believed but missed that they missed other requirements (eg they met the perf criteria but failed on security).
