Monday at the Adobe MAX conference Adobe announced that Flash Professional CS5 will support creating rich, interactive applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The demo involved using Flash CS5 to export apps for the iPhone. It leverages the same source code used to deliver applications across desktops and devices for Flash Platform runtimes — Adobe AIR and Flash Player 10.
The iPhone apps shown were built with Flash and not Apple’s iPhone SDK. Adobe said they are native iPhone apps. “We made sure we focused on Apple rules. We believe we are in full compliance,†said Voltmer.
Adobe didn’t know whether Apple was aware the apps were originally made with Flash, saying it was up to the individual developers to submit the apps to the App Store.
Adobe also said it is submitting other iPhone apps including Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro.
