MilanMac Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Last month I detailed a lot of what he was saying. It's not an Apple issue, it's an Adobe issue. Flash was created back in the day when touch screens were rare. Flash is on its way out, especially since HTML5 is coming in now. Adobe knows this, sees the writing on the wall, and is just trying to make some last minute cash.... Glad Steve set the record straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenpk Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 yeah I am also think that the HTML5 is coming in now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrobin10 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 And yet Android 2.2 is running Flash pretty darn well at the moment. Don't get me wrong Im all for Apply being competitive about this, but I think that all the mud slinging thats been going on between Adobe and Apple really doesn't do anyone any favors at all. Did he really need to write an open essay attacking another company ? Is that the way the business world works today, people cant just trust that their own products will outshine the dross ?

Cyberqat Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 This is nothing more then PR spin. The simple, true fact of the matter is that Jobs wants complete and total control over his developers. The new developer agreement bans more then just flash, it bans ANY developer tools other then straight Objective C compiled by Xcode or Javascript run by Safari. Many others, such as runrev, have been kicked off the platform by this. Its unbelievable really. If YOU as a developer write a tool that generates Obejctive C for you, say a menu making tool, its illegal under the new rules. Even micrsoft didnt have the balls to try to tie developers hands like this. When they wanted the Windows compiler market, they had to compete (albeit deviously) with Borland for it. I write Android apps. I have a Macbook. I have an Ipad. I will never write an Ipad or Iphone app unless this is changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I write Android apps. I have a Macbook. I have an Ipad. I will never write an Ipad or Iphone app unless this is changed. Talking to several iPhone/iPod/iPad developers over the past few months (and having worked with the devices myself), I have to tell you something: most of them don't seem to care about the C/C++/Objective-C limitation. Most serious iDevice developers use Objective-C and Apple's libraries anyway. Also note, there is nothing that says you have to use XCode. All you have to link directly against Apple's Documented APIs. The people that are too lazy to learn Objective-C/C/C++ shouldn't be writing application for Apple''s devices anyway. The more troubling clause for iDevice device developers is 3.3.9, which limits data collection (i.e. which devices are running your app, which OS version, are they on WiFi or 3G, etc). This is problematic for developers as this is useful information, which, if you are a serious developer, you really care about. If you watched the D8 with Steve Jobs, you would have seen his take on this. Apple was pissed off that they didn't know data collection of this sort was happening and third party data collection firms that let developers use their service were registering new Apple devices on their campus and violating Apple's privacy policy on top of that. This situation hints that this clause will be modified shortly, but no yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
