Submission + - Adobe Stops Development For iPhone

Submitted by adeelarshad82 on Wednesday April 21, 2010 @01:28PM

adeelarshad82 writes: Adobe's principal product manager Mike Chambers announced that Adobe is no longer investing in iPhone-based Flash development. The move comes after Apple put out new draft of its iPhone developer program license, which banned private APIs and required apps to be written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine. According to Mike Chambers Adobe will still provide the ability to target the iPhone and iPad in Flash CS5, but the company is not currently planning any additional investments in that feature.
