Great news for developers
It’s always nice to wake up to great news!
Apple’s announcement today that it has lifted restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines has direct implications for Adobe’s Packager for iPhone, a feature in the Flash Professional CS5 authoring tool. This feature was created to enable Flash developers to quickly and easily deliver applications for iOS devices. The feature is available for developers to use today in Flash Professional CS5, and we will now resume development work on this feature for future releases.
This is great news for developers and we’re hearing from our developer community that Packager apps are already being approved for the App Store. We do want to point out that Apple’s restriction on Flash content running in the browser on iOS devices remains in place.
Adobe will continue to work to bring full web browsing with Flash Player 10.1 as well as standalone applications on AIR to a broad range of devices, working with key industry partners including Google, HTC, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Palm/HP, RIM, Samsung and others.

Serge I think Adobe should continue with its plan to support development on Android. After that Apple put the shit in the face with his restrictions and sat down to laugh, Adobe cry like a child and go to Google. and now Adobe celebrates the release of restrictions.
Adobe shows now who is who has the power!
Tengan un poco de COJONES COÑO!!
Best,

@Guillermo: Adobe has every intention to continue working with our Open Screen Project partners.
@Guillermo……… what?
Did you read the posting?
Adobe clearly states that their top priority is still to work with their OSP partners, and continue to push the FlashPlayer out to as many devices as possible.
They are happy that the restriction was lifted because now they have another platform to use to sell their Creative Suite products. And the announcement here was that they would restart development on the iOS-from-Flash compiler, which means it will get updates.
This is not a win for Adobe or for Flashers. This is a win for Apple.
Now Apple gets to ~use~ the incredible talents of the Flashers of the World to create killer apps for iDevices – which are Jobs’ front line in his mission to kill Flash.
Make an app for the iPhone or iPad == put another Flasher out of work.
@Serge and @ Ross: I don’t believe 100% in this story, but I hope.
I’m 100% agree with @Joel , “This is not a win for Adobe or for Flashers. This is a win for Apple”.
This is an genial move from Apple, now they use the talents of the Flashers, that was the only point in disadvantage with Android. @ Sege I’m so sorry for these news schade!
