Just after buying a $2.99 app in the App Store, now you finally get Flash video come to you finally. Yes, now Adobe’s flash finally comes for all iOS users. Skyfire is the name of the app with this functionality to make it through the App approval process. It is believed that 75% (ish) of online videos are encoded using Flash, and this fact has been a thorn in the side of iOS users for quite a while now.
Steve Jobs, from Apple, has been hesitant to collaborate with Adobe’s flash integration because it is believed that Flash tends to cause a lot of errors / crashes on Macs. Somehow, Skyfire manages to work through, by rendering Flash video into HTML 5 and then displaying it in iOS. With any luck, this is expected to cause fewer Flash-related crashes.Although this privilege is extremely limited to the App, the random Games and non-video Flash content will still not work on iOS devices.
