Adobe Discontinues Development Of Flash Player For iOS And Mobile Phones, Shifts Focus Towards HTML5

by Adeel Qayum on November 9, 2011

On Tuesday Adobe had made an announcement to its partners that it will not be continuing further development of flash player for mobile phones and now the news has been confirmed and made public.

This news is said to be in contrast with the fact that Steve Jobs had expressed his thoughts about Flash in an open letter which also explained why Apple would not support flash for its mobile devices.

So instead of working on Flash for mobile phones, Adobe has planned to continue developing tools to produce applications that work on mobile app stores, including Apple’s App Store.

Furthermore Adobe’s vice president of Flash Client Platform has expressed his views about the new HTML5 which is now available across major mobile devices. The company is said to contribute “more aggressively” to HTML5.

However with the discontinued Flash player, Adobe has till promised to provide with “critical bug fixes and security updates” for the existing devices.
