Android 4.1 Jelly Bean says goodbye to Adobe Flash Player

Last year, Adobe announced that the development of Flash Player for Android would be terminated within the platform supporting the plugin only for bug fixes and stability. This year the situation will probably quit forever with the arrival of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the tablet Nexus 7 , Adobe has officially confirmed that there will be no version of Flash Player for Android and the confirmation comes just from the first hands on the tablet that just does not integrate it into the operating system.

 

In addition, Adobe also announced that the component would withdraw completely from the Play Store from next August 15 , this means that you can not install it to find it through the usual window of available applications within the Google store, while for those who continue to have on your device, the company does know that it will continue to issue updates even after the closing date of stay in the Play Store.

This move to some extent unexpected is the direct consequence of the non-compatibility of the last distribution Android, Adobe would therefore urge users to uninstall it before upgrading to Android 4.1, since Flash Player will not work properly and will not be supported at the level of upgrades safety. It then closes the era of Flash Player for mobile devices, hailed the arrival of the good old distribution  Froyo 2.2 and praised as the key point lead over Apple, now betrayed by his own partner first with Chrome and now permanently from the central system. The times seem finished the Flash and the Web seems to be adapting to the language HTML5.

Needless to say that Apple has been instrumental in bringing this change in favor of standard HTML5 which has since gained experience and maturity with developers and webmasters who increasingly are adapting to the new standard.  by
