flash - Are there any limitations of Flex 4.5 mobile apps on iOS? -
i've looked @ few demos adobe show apps built flex 4.5 running on ios simple list views video capture. has made me wonder if effective solution build cross platform mobile apps.
for of have taken flex 4.5 mobile spin, impression on capability , performance on ios. there can't flex 4.5 mobile couldn't native app? there limitations?
the mobile story in flex quite strong, in opinion. has attracted me platform , seems bringing life flex community.
the experience developing apps in android , ios quite fantastic, actually. velocity in can dev blazing , abstractions provided flex (data binding, state management, skinning, etc) give ability totally rock app.
the performance better had expected. not great native app, gets job done. ability share code , uis between android , ios more make in cases.
there are, however, limitations. one, not using native widget set. using flex widget set. means not native look/feel. reason, best build apps app... not flex app or native app. there lots of popular examples in app stores work way... , flex app pretty requires in opinion.
there lot of apis not available you. flex provides hardware abstractions popular apis (video, audio, accelerometer, positioning, webkit, etc) platform specific apis still missing (contacts, calendar, system notifications, etc).
at point, worth asking app needs do. have lot of native interfacing? if so, flex might not right you. find apis need talk , make sure flex has abstraction you. if data-centric display/edit app, flex strong fit.
hope helps :)
