Well sorta.

Great News for Developers

Posted by Adobe Corporate Communications on September 9, 2010 5:03 PM in Business Professionals, Developers

Apple’s announcement today that it has lifted restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines has direct implications for Adobe’s Packager for iPhone, a feature in the Flash Professional CS5 authoring tool. This feature was created to enable Flash developers to quickly and easily deliver applications for iOS devices. The feature is available for developers to use today in Flash Professional CS5, and we will now resume development work on this feature for future releases.

This is great news for developers and we’re hearing from our developer community that Packager apps are already being approved for the App Store. We do want to point out that Apple’s restriction on Flash content running in the browser on iOS devices remains in place.

Adobe will continue to work to bring full web browsing with Flash Player 10.1 as well as standalone applications on AIR to a broad range of devices, working with key industry partners including Google, HTC, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Palm/HP, RIM, Samsung and others.

Get ready for the onslaught of crappy Flash designed apps... to accompany the bazillion crappy apps that already exist at the App Store.

But the guidelines for approval say that Apple doesn't need any more!

Isn't the double-tap Home button option to Favorites gone in iOS 4? I can't remember. I'm on 3.1.3 right now, and I've set the double-tap Home button to Favorites, but my I was under the impression that you can't do that in iOS 4. Or did they bring something similar back?
