Ja det var väl inte så mycket annat att göra än att kasta in handduken. Apple vill helt enkelt inte se applikationer utvecklade i Flash på iPhone OS-plattformen.

Mike Chambers skriver bland annat detta i ett blogginlägg:

Essentially, this has the effect of restricting applications built with a number of technologies, including Unity, Titanium, MonoTouch, and Flash CS5. While it appears that Apple may selectively enforce the terms, it is our belief that Apple will enforce those terms as they apply to content created with Flash CS5. Developers should be prepared for Apple to remove existing content and applications (100+ on the store today) created with Flash CS5 from the iTunes store.

We will still be shipping the ability to target the iPhone and iPad in Flash CS5. However, we are not currently planning any additional investments in that feature.
