These apps are packaged using AIR for mobile devices and can be packaged with AIR or web runtime technologies on TVs and other digital home devices that use the TV as a display. Will Adobe continue to support AIR? On Mobile? On TVs?Īdobe is fully committed to enabling Flash-based apps on mobile and digital home devices. Our strategy allows us to maintain leadership in content published through the web and app stores and gives developers the best tools to create content across all platforms. Flash developers get the greatest reach by targeting mobile devices with apps packaged with AIR, and that is where we are investing while helping the mobile browsers advance the state of the art of what can be done in a browser using HTML5. Adobe sees this as the right time to increase our focus on accelerating the development of HTML for in browser experiences, especially on mobile (phones and tablets), and general purpose apps, while using Flash to drive what’s possible in advanced interactive entertainment areas like console-quality gaming and premium video so that it can continue to serve as a blueprint for further work on HTML. We are already working on Flash Player 12 and a new round of exciting features which we expect to again advance what is possible for delivering high definition entertainment experiences.Īll the major platform providers (Android, iOS, Windows 8) are betting on HTML5 for browsing, some even to the point of excluding third party plug-ins such as Flash Player. In fact, Flash Player 11 just introduced dozens of new features, including hardware accelerated 3D graphics for console-quality gaming and premium HD video with content protection. What does this mean for Flash Player support on desktops?Īdobe is fully committed to providing a great experience for use cases not yet well supported by HTML, including console-quality gaming and premium video.
See the blog post for more details.ĭoes this mean that Adobe is no longer supporting content publishers focused on delivering content via a browser on a mobile device?Īdobe offers world-class tools and technologies including HTML5 tools like Adobe Edge that allow content publishers and developers to bring rich content and experiences across mobile web browsers using HTML5. Adobe will no longer develop Flash Player for mobile web browsers.
There’s a lot of talk and speculation out there, as folks try to figure out what it means… So take two dozen common questions on the subject, and here are the official answers Adobe sent to us:Īdobe announced plans to increase its efforts on HTML5, and to focus Flash on mobile applications (packaged with AIR) and PC browsing with an emphasis on use cases not yet addressed by HTML5, including premium video and console-quality gaming. Many people have been making guesses on what’s happening now that Flash Player for Mobile will not be further developed.
