Adobe will cease Flash support for the next major version of the Android operating system, the company has said.
Android 5.0, colloquially known as ‘Jelly Bean’, has no firm release date though is expected to be unveiled next year. There will be a final Flash update to Android 4.0 next month, Adobe said, but thereafter support will be reduced to a handful of possible bug fixes.
Adobe rocked the interactive entertainment industries earlier this month by announcing it will cease support for Flash on mobile browsers.
And in what appears to be an indication of further action, Adobe said “with the growth and continued improved browser support of HTML5, the role of Flash will change”.
“For the foreseeable future, Flash offers advantages in delivering premium video with content protection, as well as providing a high performance, feature-rich and graphically advanced gaming platform,” the company told Pocket Lint (http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43152/flash-for-android-4-end-2011-no-flash-for-android-5).
