Why Does Apple Allow .NET On The IPhone But Not Flash
Jan 30, 2010
From what I understand, Apple has banned the Flash runtime on the iPhone because Apple doesn't want an alternative runtime environment to that which Apple provides via their own tools. Allowing a Flash runtime, according to Apple, would allow developers to circumvent application update policies and other controls which Apple has put in place. And at this time, Adobe has not chosen to build tools to statically compile apps created in Flash.
My further understanding is that .NET apps created via MonoTouch are statically precompiled and hit the iPhone as native code vs. running inside the .NET common language runtime (CLR), which Apple would surely disallow. Since .NET code is not executing in Microsoft's runtime but rather natively on the iPhone CPU, Apple isn't complaining.
Am I correct about why Apple allows .NET-developed applications on the iPhone?Is one vendor's precompiled, native code on the iPhone (or any platform I suppose) distinguishable from any other? In other words, is native code that's produced by MonoTouch indistinguishable from native code produced by compiled Objective C code? Is the source of the native code totally opaque?
I have built an app in Adobe Flex (4.5) and it works well on Android, but i need to test it on an iDevice. I have an iPhone 3GS available, and i have made a provisioning profile with it and certified it through the proper Apple channels, but trying to install the app to the phone through iTunes results in an error (the same one you get when trying to install non-market apps), and i can't find a way to import it into xCode.
NOTE: i developed the app on a PC in Flex, but have a MacBook Pro available for testing.
Since Apple loosened their terms again, is it posible to develop a game in FLash CS5 and publish it on the Apple App Store? Are there actually any real apps / games on the App Store that were build on Flash?

Example: Pig picks up apple with pig.addChild(apple); if say, a bird wants the apple but the pig has it:
[Code]...
and the pig and the apple touch the bird, the apple stays with the pig. If an object is a child of another object such as the pig, it is (the apple in this case) dependent to only that object(the pig)?
I just finished with developing my application by Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and I wonder if this will be visible to iPhones 4 because support for Retina displays was added since CS5.5.
I'm interested in developing for the iPad and iPhone, but I'd prefer not to learn Apple's whole development stack (and good golly, I sure don't want to go back to manual memory management). Oh, sure, I could learn it, but I don't have that level of commitment to the environment at this point. I've got professional experience with Flex already, so I'm intrigued by Adobe's move to make Flash/Flex compile to the iPhone and iPad. My question is: how promising of a development path will Adobe's Slider be? Are we likely to see Slider publicly available in a reasonable timeframe (Adobe: "An early mobile branch of the Flex framework is expected to be available in 2010")? Are we likely to see reasonable performance? Are there development hurdles that haven't become clear yet? Heck, is it all just vaporware? There's pretty limited information available so far, as far as I've seen, but I'm interested in people's predictions, even if they're speculative.
I'm interested in building a thick client application for my existing web services that will run on the IPhone. Flash finally seems to be an option, so I thought about using Flex for client side development.
However, since flash apps are not natively supported by the IPhone, but only through a wrapper, I was wondering if these apps can persist any data. Data entered by the user should eventually be transmitted to the web service, but until then I want it to persist even if the Iphone should run out of power.
Is this possible? Or does the Iphone flash wrapper make it impossible to access the hard disk?
I'm wondering if the flash packager for iPhone allows you to somehow save data in some kind of database maybe using Core Data or any other form? If it just allows you to export some kind of actionscript based game but doesn't allow for saving data that'd be kinda weak I'd assume so they must have a way (?).
I've created my app and it works great. But when I press home button on my iphone, my app minimizes and when I open it from multitasking apps, it simply restarts. Is it possible to freeze or pause the game instead of stop?
Here is a tutorial that tells you how to remove the gloss on an app in xcode. How can I do this in flash cs5? If I can't, can I do something to the image in photoshop so that it looks like it has no gloss when the gloss is applied?
Is there any equivalent to a Flash projector for iPhone? Flash projectors basically seem to package script and Flash libraries into one executable file that can be run on a PC. I'm wondering if anyone has made a similar thing for iPhone where I can take my existing code and package it with the necessary iPhone stuff to make a PC executable. Of course hardware-specific things would not be available like accelerometer/phone/gps, etc. but I don't need any of those. If not, is there anyone currently attempting this?
I am a Flex developer. I wish to make flex applications for iphone. But, when I google up for the same, most of the link shows up that Adobe Flex and flash aren't supported on iphone.
Is this right ? Why it isn't supported ? If it is supported, which are the good books for developing iphone applications via flex.
I have a problem with Flash CS5.5, AS3. I have two ScrollPane Components in my document.They are both in another scene and the (instant)names are unique. But it isnt working properly. When I go to the other scene with the second ScrollPane I get an error & it starts to flicker.
I have an Apple iSight webcam and it's not working with Flash.I go into the Flash player settings and select my camera, I can see my image and camera working inside the little box in the Flash playser settings panel.But when I close the settings and "allow" the site to access my webcam it doesn't work.My camera just shuts off.It's been a while but my camera use to work with Flash, and my iSight camera works with other apps such as Skype.URL...
I have a video that displays closed captioning inside Quicktime player (it was embeded to the file's metadata).I've tried pulling that information out as if it were conventional flash-friendly metadata, but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
I need to port an existing game written for the iPhone to Flash. The iPhone game is mainly written in pure C rather than Objective C.
I'm wondering if there are any good tools for converting the C code to Actionscript directly, or in general if anyone has some advice on how to do this porting in an efficient way given its C based source code?
Since the game will keep getting updated with bugfixes etc, a method allowing rapid conversion of the updated game code to Flash so that only one code base would need to be maintained would be optimal.
and want to turn it into a photo slideshow menu, I have manage to change the icons to my images and edit the buttons up/down states etc, but can't figure out how to get it to display the corresponding picture when the icon is clicked on?I want a larger version of the picture used as the icon to appear above the menu when clicked on or maybe just on a roll over?
I have built a multi-touch application which is based on a Java EE backend and combined with BlazeDS to a Adobe Flex frontend. The application runs on a DIY-Multi-Touch which I built. Now I want to use another solution. The Adobe Flex frontend (with a multitouch library) and the BlazeDS adapter should be replaced by a solution which covers iPhone/iPad, Android and commercial Multi-Touch displays.
The problem is the iPad/iPhone, there is no Flash Player runtime (not the jail-breaked ones), but the application should be runnable also on those devices. So Adobe Flex and a Java frontend (no JVM on the iPhone/iPad) is not possible anymore. At first, starting the developing of the application it was not neccessary, to run it on Apples mobile devices, but this changed So, what can I do, using HTML5? So I can use it for Android and iPhone/iPad. But I also want to make it possible to use it on a commercial multi-touch-display and normal display with a mouse (I only have gestures for one finger, the 2-finger gestures are not neccessary). Are there any frameworks that allow this? Because I do not want to create several frontends (App for iPhone/iPad on Objective-C and a Adobe Flex for all other devices), it would be great if I can build a frontend for all devices.
Can an iphone app developed with Adobe AIR (version 2.6/2.7) play a streaming sound when it is in background? Only native application can play in background? I have not found a clearly response to this question on documentation. PS: i'm using the Adobe AS3 class Sound to play a shoutcast streaming.
i'm following Christian Cantrell guide for packaging AS3 application for iPhone, but i can't find a way to use the packager for creating an app for testing on device. I've tried with -target ipa-test and -target ipa-app-store but when i try to upload my app on the iPad, iTunes throws an error sayng that i'm not allowed.I've done a simple test using the Packager bundled width CS5 (with the same certificates) and everything gone right.
Is is possible to use CS5 Packager for Flex project ? (i know that flex isn't optimized for mobile)
I want to create an iPhone game with Adobe AIR, and I want that game to be able to store the players details in a MySql server.
What would be the best way to do that? Is it possible to use a standard URLRequest in AS3, and have the iPhone use that to communicate to the PHP on the server, and receive back data?
