The announcement of the stopping of the development of Flash Player to 
destination mobile terminals, formulated in late 2011, was not taken lightly. Adobe has confirmed on Thursday that its media player will not be distributed on the next version of Android. The editor explains that since Flash Player is tightly integrated with the operating system of a mobile terminal and browser. A number of preliminary tests are required.
To ensure the proper execution of his client, Adobe proposed to date a certification program for manufacturers who want the default install on their devices. Such will not however be the case with Android 4.1 according to previous statements; Adobe will indeed end this certification process. It will stop at the same time the distribution of Flash Player via Google Play from 15 August. After this date, only devices with Android 4.0 or an earlier version and provided with a Flash Player installed directly in the factory will have access to download from the Google booth applications.
If a device is updated from Android 4.0 to 4.1, the current version of Flash Player can be unpredictable behavior, since it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates of Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices that have been updated to Android 4.1“. Adobe says bluntly.
For developers will land more than ever the question of choosing between mobile web and native applications , since the environment performance provided by Flash will therefore be familiar with his term on Android.
We realized a high-performance Flash Player but the uses were on the other. For a richer experience on their smartphone, users do not expect Flash but spent directly by downloading applications over the shop. Finally, it is therefore the market has dictated our strategy,” confided to Clubic Michael Chaize, Adobe Developer Evangelist, in February.
