No Adobe Flash Support For Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Confirmed

Earlier this year, Adobe has already declared that it won't be developing any further versions of the Flash Player for the mobile browsers and also the Chrome for Android beta version also won't be supported. Adobe today has announced that there will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

They said that from 15th August onwards, Adobe will stop all the new installations for Flash from the Google Play Store. Adobe added that the easiest way to ensure ongoing access to Flash Player on Android 4.0 and previous versions of the platform is to use certified devices that have Flash Player installed on them by the manufacturer.

Adobe,

Devices that don’t 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,” Adobe added.

 So no flash support on Android 4.1 jelly Bean is a big blow, Whoops! Will the new Android 4.1 be a success ? Or will it be a fail ? Do share your views on this major issue, thanks for reading.
