SmartSketch was just a vector drawing application for pen computers, released in 1993. Frame-by-frame animation abilities were eventually added, and the app became FutureSplash Animator for Mac and PC.<\/p>\n<p>Macro<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> acquired FutureSplash in 1996, and the application was split into two products. Macromedia Flash would be used for creating animations, while Flash Player would allow anyone to play those animations without paying for any software. Importantly, Macromedia created a web browser plugin version of Flash Player, which allowed animations to run inside web pages.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 830px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-805653 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/macromedia-flash-1-0.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Macromedia Flash is the easiest way for all web designers to create small &amp; fast Shockwave multimedia.\" width=\"830\" height=\"600\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.webdesignmuseum.org\/web-design-history\/macromedia-flash-1-0-1996\" data-credittext=\"Web Design Museum\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Macromedia product page for Flash 1.0 in 1997 <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webdesignmuseum.org\/web-design-history\/macromedia-flash-1-0-1996\">Web Design Museum<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The final piece of the puzzle for Flash\u2019s world domination arrived in 2000, with the release of Flash 5.0. That update added the first version of the ActionScript programming language, which allowed Flash content to be interactive. Now Flash could be used for more than simple animations \u2014 it could handle everything from clickable menus to video players and complex web applications.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070516090612\/http:\/\/news.zdnet.co.uk\/internet\/0%2C1000000097%2C39211831%2C00.htm\">According to Macromedia<\/a>, more than 98% of computers connected to the web in 2005 had Flash Player installed, and more than 100 manufacturers were building products with Flash built-in. That same year, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2005\/04\/19\/technology\/adobe-buys-macromedia-for-34-billion.html\">Adobe purchased Macromedia<\/a> for $3.4 billion in stock, officially turning Flash into an Adobe product.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_iPhone\"><\/span>The iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple introduced the first iPhone in 2007, and even though the iPhone would go on to become one of the most important tech products <em>ever<\/em>, the original model was fairly limited. There was no App Store yet (that would have to wait until iOS 2.0 in 2008), it was only available on AT&amp;T, 3G support was missing, it couldn\u2019t sync with Microsoft Exchange accounts, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>What the iPhone <em>did have<\/em> was a full-blown Safari web browser, complete with support for then-new web technologies like HTML5 video. However, there was no compatibility with web plugins, even ones that were present on other phones and PDAs at the time \u2014 including Adobe Flash. Apple CEO Steve Jobs <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/science\/flash-video-not-suitable-for-iphone-apple-ceo-says-1.696486\">said in March 2008<\/a> that the mobile version of Flash was \u201cnot capable of being used with the web, and said there needed to be a \u201cmiddle ground\u201d for the iPhone to add Flash support.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-805636 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shutterstock_1644720079.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Person holding an original iPhone\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/male-hand-holding-1st-generation-iphone-1644720079\" data-credittext=\"marleyPug\/Shutterstock\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The original iPhone <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/male-hand-holding-1st-generation-iphone-1644720079\">marleyPug\/Shutterstock<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What Apple and Steve Jobs <em>didn\u2019t<\/em> tell anyone, at least at the time, was that Apple and Adobe had already attempted to bring Flash to the iPhone.\u00a0Scott Forstall, head of engineering at Apple at the time, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2021\/04\/27\/apple-tried-to-help-adobe-bring-flash-to-ios-but-the-results-were-embarrassing\/\">revealed in a deposition from last year\u2019s <em>Epic Games v. Apple<\/em> lawsuit<\/a> that early efforts were not promising. \u201cWe tried to make Flash work. We helped Adobe. We definitely were interested,\u201d Forstall said, \u201cwhen we got it running on iOS, the performance was just abysmal and embarrassing and it could never get to something which would be consumer value add.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2008\/03\/12iPhone-SDK-Downloads-Top-100-000\/\">Apple released the first iPhone SDK in March 2008<\/a>, alongside the introduction of the App Store, allowing developers to (officially) create and distribute native iPhone apps for the first time. Adobe said later that year it was working on a version of Flash Player for iPhone using the SDK, but it was unclear at the time if Apple would ever allow it into the App Store. Even from the first days of the App Store, Apple blocked developers from creating apps that could download and run other executable code \u2014 which is why third-party web browser engines have never been available on iPhone and iPad. That automatically ruled out a typical Flash Player, but there were other options.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fight\"><\/span>The Fight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adobe couldn\u2019t make a Flash plugin for Safari on iPhone without Apple, but it could go in a different direction: allow developers to wrap their Flash content with a built-in runtime, and submit it to the App Store. By June 2008, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2008\/06\/17\/adobe-already-has-iphone-version-of-flash-running-on-emulator\/\">Adobe had Flash running in Apple\u2019s iPhone emulator<\/a>. At the following year\u2019s Adobe MAX event, the company showed a video featuring Adobe\u00a0CTO Kevin Lynch (who ironically <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/klynch.com\/\">now works at Apple<\/a>) and Creative Solutions SVP\u00a0Johnny Loiacono in a parody of <em>Mythbusters<\/em>.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"bPq1fVt9--I\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bPq1fVt9--I\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>The video places both executives in the role of \u201chacking\u201d a myth presented by \u201cSteve from Cupertino\u201d (Steve Jobs), who sent in a letter saying \u201cit\u2019s not possible to run Flash on the iPhone.\u201d After a few gags, they call someone from Adobe, who says they just got Flash running on the iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Flash developers had to wait until <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010-04-21-adobe-halts-investment-in-iphone-specific-flash-dev-tools-has-a.html\">the release of Flash CS5 in 2010<\/a> to create Flash-based iPhone apps, but just before it was released, Apple blocked app developers from using it or other third-party frameworks. The iOS 4 SDK (then called iPhone OS 4) in April 2010 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010-04-08-apples-iphone-lockdown-apps-must-be-written-in-one-of-three-la.html\">said<\/a> iPhone applications could only be written in\u00a0Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript \u2014 any other programming environments or compatibility layers were forbidden.<\/p>\n<p>Adobe complained to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission about Apple\u2019s new rules, which started to investigate Apple for possible anti-trust violations. By August 2010, the FTC had <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2010\/08\/ftc-apple-adobe-foia\/\">nearly 200 pages of records<\/a> related to the complaint, and refused <em>Wired<\/em>\u2018s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Freedom_of_Information_Act_(United_States)\">FOIA request<\/a> because \u201cdisclosure of that material could reasonably be expected to interfere with the conduct of the Commission\u2019s law enforcement activities.\u201d In other words, the FTC was gearing up for legal action.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thoughts_on_Flash\"><\/span>Thoughts on Flash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The fights between Adobe and Apple culminated on April 29, 2010, when Apple CEO Steve Jobs published an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170615060422\/https:\/\/www.apple.com\/hotnews\/thoughts-on-flash\/\">open letter<\/a> titled \u201cThoughts on Flash.\u201d Jobs said in the letter, \u201cAdobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven \u2014 they say we want to protect our App Store \u2014 but in reality it is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> issues. Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter goes on to explain Apple\u2019s (and Job\u2019s) reasoning for blocking Flash on the iPhone. Most of the points focus on Flash being a \u201cclosed system\u201d with poor battery life, touch screen support, performance, hardware decoding for video, and security. Jobs also highlighted that many of Flash\u2019s capabilities could be handled with HTML5 video and other features the iPhone supported, and if Flash developers have to update their code to support touch screens and iPhones anyway, they should just go all the way and rewrite their apps in native or web code.<\/p>\n<p>Jobs\u2019 letter was definitely\u00a0hypocritical in some areas \u2014 some of his points about Flash being a closed system could also be applied to Apple\u2019s App Store \u2014 but most of his points were still valid. He ended with, \u201cperhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/BL-DGB-14009\">interviewed shortly afterward<\/a>. He called the letter an \u201cextraordinary attack,\u201d and denied claims about excessive battery drain.\u00a0\u201cWe have different views of the world,\u201d he said, \u201cour view of the world is multi-platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Victory_Too_Late\"><\/span>A Victory Too Late<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps due to likely legal action from the FTC, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100911061349\/http:\/\/www.tuaw.com\/2010\/09\/09\/apple-loosens-reigns-allows-3rd-party-ios-dev-tools-with-caveat\/\">Apple changed its developer agreements again<\/a> in September 2010. The company now allowed app developers to use whatever tools they wanted, including Adobe Flash, \u201cas long as the resulting apps do not download any code.\u201d Shortly afterward, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010-09-10-adobe-resumes-efforts-on-packager-for-iphone.html\">Adobe resumed development<\/a> on its Flash-to-iPhone compiler.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Adobe, the world had already started to move on from Flash. More sites were being updated to support HTML5 video, or offered native apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, and other mobile platforms. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2011\/11\/09\/adobe-discontinues-development-on-mobile-flash\/\">Adobe discontinued Flash Player for all mobile devices in 2011<\/a>, leaving packaging tools (like the one now permitted by Apple) as the only way to run Flash software on Android and other mobile platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Flash was also slowly falling out of favor on desktop platforms, mostly due to its long-running <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bleepingcomputer.com\/news\/security\/flash-bug-allows-attackers-to-spy-on-users-via-camera-microphone\/\">security problems<\/a>. Apple used its malware protection system to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macobserver.com\/tmo\/article\/apple-disables-flash-for-os-x-over-security-concerns\">block Flash Player from running<\/a> on Mac nearly every time a security vulnerability was discovered, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Adobe Flash was officially discontinued on all platforms on December 31, 2020. Most web browsers had already dropped support for the Flash plugin at that point, and Microsoft pushed out updates for Windows that removed Flash if it was installed.<\/p>\n<p>Flash had an incredible effect on computers, and it paved the way for modern web applications. However, by 2010, it was definitely time to move on \u2014 and Steve Jobs arguably gave the industry a little push.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story was originally an episode of\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/techtalesshow.com\/\">Tech Tales<\/a>, a podcast that covers technology history.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
