Apple’s iPhone Developer Program License Agreement sub-article 3.3.1 has drawn serious criticism since its introduction. The infamous clause essentially bans the conversion of Flash apps to the iPhone, cutting off a fairly large business that used the Flash-to-iPhone converter.
Principal product manager for developer relations for the Flash platform at Adobe Mike Chambers has responded to this by asking smartphone Flash app developers to cease making products for iPhone. He also conceded that they will abandon working on the Flash-to-iPhone converter.
“We will still be shipping the ability to target the iPhone and iPad in Flash CS5. However, we are not currently planning any additional investments in that feature,” wrote Chambers in his blog, adding, “If you want to develop for the iPhone you have to be prepared for Apple to reject or restrict your development at anytime, and for seemingly any reason.”
