This is a *great* question from the Apple side of the house becuase the Apple user typically would rather forgo functionality for safety. The fact that the Apple user makes most of their decisions based on three commonly held traits is why you ask that question. 1. Utter abject fear. 2. Slavish following of style 3. Lack of reasonable adult logic (see the two reasons above) The fact you ask that question is why I'm often found quoting the fact that Apple gives you a butterknife to cut down a tree because a chain saw is "too dangerous" for you Apple users. Often, sms says that the iOS equipment isn't really a butterknife, since it is functional - so we have agreed that using iOS is like using a hand saw to cut down a tree instead of a chain saw. Those who are in abject fear of saws would use the iOS handsaw. Those not in abject fear would use a chainsaw (if that's what's needed). Apple users are Apple users precisely because of their abject fear. Android users are Android users precisely because they don't have abject fear. Having said that, the answer to your 1/2 your question is logically simple. https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk January 20, 2016 iOS = hand saw Android = chainsaw Notice that Apple iOS mobile devices are always far less functional than Android mobile devices simply because Apple limits what iOS mobile devices can do which the Apple users *love* because they fear the power and flexibility that Android users simply do not fear.

That information was cut and pasted verbatim out of this web page: <https://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/adobe-flash-player-apk-latest-download/> Which says, verbatim: "Flash Player is available on AndroidAPKsFree since its release on January 20, 2016. The current version is 11.1.115.81 and the cumulative downloads from our platform are more than 87,690." As you an see, I cut and pasted the date verbatim from that second URL as the answer to "joe", who, let's be clear, was only asking because his point is that he's afraid of any Flash version other than the most current flash version (which is why I gave "joe" the first URL). > the correct answer is 5 years old: > <https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions. > html> > On September 10 2013, Adobe released Flash Player 11.1.111.73 for > Android 2.x and 3.x and 11.1.115.81 for Android 4.0.x in keeping with > statements made in Adobe's publicly available Flash Roadmap.

Thank you for that link of: <https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html> Which says, verbatim: "On September 10 2013, Adobe released Flash Player 11.1.111.73 for Android 2.x and 3.x and 11.1.115.81 for Android 4.0.x" Hence, either the original URL comments are wrong, or, what they meant most likely was that they copied the APK from Adobe on January 20, 2016. Hence, I agree with your facts since all sentient adults agree on facts. (Facts are funny that way.) So I publicly agree that the 11.1.115.81 Flask APK was originally released on September 10 2013 and apparently hosted on AndroidAPKsFree "since its release on January 20, 2016". The main point is threefold: a. The Apple Apologists are driven by abject fear. b. The Apple Apologists would rather go without functionality. c. Hence, to the Apple Apologists, the release date is a "big deal". While I don't disagree with the release date correction (facts are funny in that all logical adults agree on facts), the actual date doesn't change that the Apple Apologists would fear the APK the same whether it was released on September 10 2013 or January 20, 2016 since they fear anything that isn't the latest release, and, even for flash, they fear flash so much that even the latest release won't work on iOS. Still - the topic of this thread isn't Flash, despite the desperate attempts by the Apple Apologists to make it so. The topic is that it's been proven before that a far more functional in most ways Android phone (e.g., the 8-core LG Stylo 3 Plus) is five times less expensive than a far less functional in most ways iPhone 7 Plus ... and ... a far more functional in most ways Android Moto X4 is about half as expensive as a far less functional in most ways iPHone 8. Those are facts any sentient logical adult will immediately agree with.

I relize your point is that you're afraid of Flash. I get that. I understand that. I really do. My wife and kids are afraid of the chain saw when I start it up. It makes noise. It cuts things. It tasks skill to use. It's dangerous. But it's also very functionally powerful. From what you write, you seem to be very much like my wife & kids. You're afraid of Flash just like they're afraid of the chain saw. The fact is that trees exist in the real world. They just do. You can wish them away like nospam does with Flash. But only in nospam's imaginary world do trees not exist. For him, everything is inside the manicured flowers of the walled garden. He and you apparently live in a fantasy world, that doesn't actually exist. So when you run into a tree that needs to be cut down, you "just give up". I understand. It's what most Apple users do when they confront things in the real world. All Apple users "just give up" all day, every day. *It's a very common daily trait of the Apple user to "just give up".* The tradeoff is they *feel safe* by "just giving up". (No dangerous chain saws to deal with - but they live in a walled garden.)

Except that the Adroid user with the assualt chainsaw will end up hacking off his feet. I'll say this one more time. ADOBE FLASH IS DEAD ON ANDROID. DEAD. DEAD. DEAD. That is the realtiy of the world. And even if it weren't dead, it was a festering shithole of a security breach waiting to happen. But don't take my word for here.

Back then, speaking at a security conference in San Diego, Parisa Tabriz, Director of Engineering at Google, said that the percentage of daily Chrome users who've loaded at least one page containing Flash content per day had gone down from around 80 percent in 2014 to under 8 percent in early 2018. Tabriz, one of the people in charge of Chrome's security, blamed the downfall on the rise of web-based technologies like HTML5 and CSS3, but also on configuration changes made by Chrome and other browsers, which disabled Flash rendering and moved to an "HTML5-by-default" experience. note that many desktop browsers have *also* disabled flash. it's dead.

Still - let's be logical adults - and not emotional creatures. If this thread is going to be derailed into a flash thread, we should at least strive to have the facts straight on flash, apart from the emotions. As I recall, if you read the Google & Apple canonical explanations of why they dropped Flash support, the "festering security hole" was *not* on top of why they said they dropped flash. Let's see what Apple & Google actually said before we proclaim our own reasons for hating flash. Here is the Apple pronouncement signed by Steve Jobs in April of 2010: <https://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/> Which says the faults are, in this order: 1. Adobe┬ Flash products are 100% proprietary. 2. The "full web" (meaning Flash market share) 3. An extremely short paragraph on reliability, security and performance. 4. Battery life 5. Touch 6. Apps (which Steve Jobs very clearly said is the *most important reason*) Notice in a page of about 118 sentences, only a *single sentence mentioned reliability, with a summary sentence (a repeat) also mentioning reliability. That's about 1% to 2% of the sentences in Steve Jobs' extremely well-vetted pronouncement that even mentions reliability and both sentences said the same thing. Meanwhile, there were 116 sentences that were NOT about reliability. These are facts. While the Apple Apologists are all about childish emotion - I am only about facts. Facts are things all logical sentient adults agree upon. And that Steve Jobs letter is a fact. All logical sentient adults can read the Steve Jobs letter just as well as I can, where *intelligent* adults would, most likely, come to the same conclusion as I - since I can comprehend what Steve Jobs actually said. Steve Jobs clearly said the most important reason was that Adobe wanted to develop apps for iOS using Flash. Period. That's the main reason. Steve Jobs said it very clearly himself. Now, the Apple Apologists tend to deny even what Apple publicly admits, so, it wouldn't be surprising for them to make the decision into something that it's not. (Or, Steve Jobs could have been lying, which we know Tim Cook has been caught twice last year doing - so it's not unheard of.)

While the Steve Jobs letter dedicated a single sentence out of more than 100 sentences to "reliability" (actually two, but the second was a summary) it's harder to find the rationale from Google. Steve Jobs' rationale was very clearly (he said it so himself it was the most important reason) that Adobe wanted to develop Flash apps on iOS. Can anyone find a good summary from Google themselves as to their rationale? Even this article reputedly on why Google didn't support it talks a lot about why Steve Jobs didn't support it! <https://www.lifewire.com/android-and-flash-1616859> "Steve Jobs declared that iOS devices not only would not support Flash but that they would never support Flash. Why? A combination of factors. Flash was a proprietary system created by Adobe and not an open Web standard. A lot of the existing Flash content was old and developed for mouse rollovers, not touch, so it would do no good for phone users to see it. Flash performed very poorly on mobile devices and ate battery juice like it was going out of fashion. Sure, some of the anti-Flash talk was simply that Steve Jobs was a stubborn man who was irritated with Adobe for foot-dragging with their development of other Adobe products (it took Adobe years to finally develop a 64-bit version of Photoshop for Mac.) Adobe probably hoped that Apple would adopt Flash after Android users got used to the idea and started eating into iPhone and iPad sales." It's clear Steve Jobs didn't like the Adobe management or their actions. The point is that anyone who says that flash was dropped because it was buggy is someone who is simply proving that they can't comprehend an adult answer Still - I haven't found a first order Google pronouncement on why they dropped Flash. Here's a google pronouncement for Chrome (but that's not only Android). <https://www.blog.google/products/chrome/saying-goodbye-flash-chrome/> While they give only a portion of a sentence to security, they still have it in Chrome, as this is their summary: "We will remove Flash completely from Chrome toward the end of 2020." We know Steve Jobs dropped flash not for its security but mainly because Adobe wanted to develop Flash apps. Does anyone have a good link to Google's explanation of why they dropped Flash in Android?

This is one of the rare times your guesses are probably correct. I'm not sure if there _is_ a Google pronouncement on why they don't like Flash, and Lord knows, most of us hate flash too - but it's in the real world whether we like it or not. Steve Jobs clearly said that he didn't want iOS to support flash mainly because Adobe wanted developers to code apps using flash. Notice that security was only the tiniest of concerns in Steve Jobs' 2010 letter. I realize most Apple buyers are consumed by fear, so, for an Apple buyer, security is paramount (even if it wasn't paramount to Steve Jobs). But Android buyers don't tend to be consumed by fear like Apple buyers are. So Google's rationale, if we can find it, would be enlightening. I can't find a google pronouncement - so maybe they never made one. Here's Adobe's Jun 28 2012 pronouncement on Android support of Flash: <https://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html#sthash.KhY91EhD.dpbs> "Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed." So maybe it wasn't Google at all that limited flash on Android. It seems that Adobe may have unilaterally done it themselves. Adobe doesn't seem to support Flash after Android 4.1: "We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1." There is further information in this Adobe roadmap, which, confusingly, does show Flash support well after Android 4.1 so it's a bit confusing: <https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html> But it seems that maybe it wasn't Google after all that dropped Flash. For Android, it was perhaps unilaterally only Adobe?

You're not like a normal adult nospam, as you're much closer to the child mindset of Alan Baker and Jolly Roger. You're different than both though, as Alan Baker is literally an idiot, while Jolly Roger is as dumb as Alan Baker but at least Jolly Roger has some minor technical skills. You don't have any technical skills but sometimes you seem up to date on Apple but most of the time you are dead wrong. In fact, you're dead wrong so many times that even when you might guess right, every single guess from you has to be fact checked since you have zero credibility. My credibility is stellar on facts simply becasue when I guess I say it's a guess, like my guess that you're responding to - which is a guess that maybe Google didn't announce any ending for flash on Android - maybe it was only Adobe. Notice my guesses are backed up by references, and notice I state that it's a guess. Yours are almost never backed up by any references. You state all your guesses as if they are fact. And yet, almost all the time, you're dead wrong. The fact you don't care one whit about your utter lack of credibility is what makes me feel very strongly that you lack any semblance of formal education. I'm well educated, as is sms - where we were *taught* not to guess on everything we write. We were taught you speak facts and to back up our guesses with facts. You were never taught either. Hence, you just guess - where - almost all the time - you guess wrong. The facts show it clearly. You can't find a single instance in my thousand of posts where my facts are wrong - or - where if pointed out - I don't immediately agree with the clarifications (as I did with the Adobe release date of Flash). All logical adults agree with facts. Facts are funny that way. It seems that you & the other Apple Apologists are often immune to facts. Apple Apologists are funny that way.

This release is the final update release of Flash Player for the Android operating system. <http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-upd ate.html> Devices that don¹t have the Flash Player provided by the manufacturer typically are uncertified, meaning the manufacturer has not completed the certification testing requirements. In many cases users of uncertified devices have been able to download the Flash Player from the Google Play Store, and in most cases it worked. However, with Android 4.1 this is no longer going to be the case, as we have not continued developing and testing Flash Player for this new version of Android and its available browser options. There will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1. ... If a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1.
