Not supporting flash is the basis for the app store
- mirthflat83 6y agoNo. Apple was pushing for HTML5. In fact, they were imagining iOS Safari as an app platform in the beginning.
- colejohnson66 6y agoNope. The App Store wasn’t even a thing until iPhone OS 2.0 a whole year later. As mirthflat83 said, Jobs wanted an HTML5 future.

How long does it takes to create SDK? Jobs is too smart, he carefully creates narrative, he is playing with audience.
