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.

  1. Incoming sockpuppet troll odies/sopssa/SquarePixel by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Which sockpuppet will be used to troll this thread?

    Remember it moderators, odies = sopssa = SquarePixel, three sockpuppets, one stupid troll! His posts are simple: repeat ad nauseam what the article posted, add a few 'Captain Obvious' style facts and then add his anti Linux/Google/Apple/USA innuendo. Or it's a simple China or MS apologist post that turns into a straw man, and you guessed it, it's against Linux/Google/Apple/USA.

    Peace out!

    No, it's good now because Apple is doing it. Those macfags backpedal pretty quickly.

    Well, if something is grossly inefficient, it's going to take more battery to get the job done than an efficient app.

    Slashdotters generally fawn over Apple. You can't blame them; I would be too if I paid twice as much to have that Apple logo.
