Recently we have launched a cross-platform mobile app for one of our client build over Adobe Flash platform using latest Flash Builder 4.5.1. The application supports all Android based devices as well as iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4.

Our client is having an existing native iPhone app and wanted to develop the similar app for Android based devices. We chose Flash platform for developing this app rather than building the Android app using Android SDK. The reason being that, by building it over Flash platform, we can manage app for both the platforms using a single code base and with the help of a single developer. And hence will be relived from maintaining 2 different code bases and development platforms. Also, any further upgrades or modification can be done easily once and for all.

The app has been developed and delivered successfully for both the platform and is available for end users on respective market places.

Adobe announced that Flash Professional CS5 will have all capabilities to create stand alone Apple iPhone and iPod Touch applications. These applications will be just like any other iPhone application and can be distributed via the Apple iTunes Application store.
