Apple will reduce the restrictions for iPhone application developers and iPad, which will use including Flash under certain conditions. Adobe’s shares rose by 12% after the announcement made by Apple.
The condition imposed by Apple is that the applications must not download any code, which will give developers enough flexibility while maintaining the security requirements of Apple, according to Reuters.
The analysts say that the applications can be built in Flash and then converted to run on IOS, which was not allowed until now. Also, the applications can be constructed and used by IOS and Android. However, that does not mean that on iPhone and iPad will be seen from now on Flash Websites.
Apple made the decision after pressure by application developers, who say that it takes so long to build two versions, one for IOS and another for Android. In the official announcement, Apple does not mention Adobe or other companies, but says that the developers were listened and took into account their needs.
Apple’s decision to accept applications made in Flash comes after a long feud with Adobe. Steve Jobs said that do not allow the use of Flash technologies on iPhone, iPad and iPod because these technologies were made for the era of PCs and mice.
Jobs also said in the past that users of Apple products should not be worried or sad because they do not support Flash, because this technology is full of errors and the world will evolve towards HTML5 anyway.
