You can use Adobe® Flash® Platform tools and ActionScript®
3.0 code to build Adobe® AIR® applications for the iPhone and iPod
Touch. These applications are distributed, installed, and run just
like other iPhone applications.
Note:
The remainder of this document refers to the iPhone and
iPod touch together as simply “the iPhone.”
The Packager for iPhone® is included with Adobe® Flash® Professional
CS5. The Packager for iPhone compiles ActionScript 3.0 bytecode
into native iPhone application code. iPhone applications are distributed
as iPhone application installer files (.ipa files), via the iTunes
Store.
You can use Flash Professional CS5 or Adobe® Flash® Builder™
4 to edit the source ActionScript 3.0 content for your application.
To develop iPhone applications, use Flash Professional CS5.
You also need to obtain iPhone developer certificates from Apple.
Important:
Before developing iPhone applications, review
information on designing applications for the iPhone. See
iPhone application design considerations
. Also, learn about the
developer files required to build an iPhone application. See
Obtaining developer files from Apple
.
