With the recent changes in Apple’s developer license agreement, Adobe resumed the work on developing its ‘Packager’ tool. Packager allows developers to create native apps using Flash technology. Packager was announced by Adobe in April 2009 and was shipped as a part of Flash Professional. However, Apple blocked the tool owing to the cross platform nature of Flash. The recent relaxation of rules is a result of Adobe’s constant demand to comply with developer freedom.
While Flash is widely used for gaming and interactive applications, and is a dominant feature in desktops
, it faces a number of issues in the mobile touchscreen environment. The concession to let Flash develop tools for the iPhone and iPad is indeed welcoming to the Adobe world. However, the fact that Adobe’s Flash won’t still be directly running on Apple’s iOS devices is a setback.
As per company releases, Adobe will now concentrate to bring in full web browsing with Flash Player 10.1 together with standalone applications on AIR to a range of devices with leaders like Google, Nokia and Motorola as partners.”We will now resume development work on this feature for future releases,” Adobe said in the official blog. “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.”
Even with the changed scenario, Apple has the final word on the tools to be used; nevertheless, with Packager available in the App store once again, Adobe tools are coming to the forefront once again.
