Apple's Developer Tools Turnaround 'Great News' For Adobe

cgriffin21 writes "Apple is being praised for loosening of some of the restrictions in its Application Developer Program license agreement that open the door for app developers to work in Flash for the Apple iPhone, iPad and other devices. And no one is happier about the change than Flash-maker Adobe itself. They wrote, '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.'" Apple also received praise from Google over their reversal, which may have been prompted by an FTC probe. Reader Stoubalou adds that Apple shed more light on the app review process by publishing a list of guidelines (PDF) the violation of which may get an app rejected from the App Store.

Flash is not restricted in Safari

We do want to point out that Apple's restriction on Flash content running in the browser on iOS devices remains in place.

This is outright false. Apple places no restrictions on playing Flash content within the browser. It is true that you must use WebKit technologies (Javascript, HTML5, etc.) instead of a plugin to implement your Flash player, but that is an implementation detail only.
