Adobe Resumes Work On Packager For iPhone

on 09/10/2010 00:13 PDT

The folks over at Adobe have happily announced that after Apple loosened its restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines they will resume development work on Adobe’s Packager for iPhone, a feature in the Flash Professional CS5 authoring tool. The feature was created to enable Flash developers to quickly and easily deliver applications to iOS devices and currently Packager apps are already being approved for the App Store. That being said, it’s worth reminding users out there that Apple’s restriction on Flash content running in the browser on iOS devices still stands.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
