In November 2011, Adobe announced that they are halting the development of the Flash Player browser plugin, putting an end to Flash for Android, starting 15th of August. So, starting today, you won't be able to install the Flash Player from the Google Play Store and those who have it already installed, will find it become incompatible. If you upgrade your device to a newer version of Android 4.1, the current Flash Player version may exhibit unpredictable behavior. Criticized by Steve Jobs back in 2010, Adobe looks to have withdrawn all support for Flash and has started focused development by embracing HTML5.

If you are concerned about flash used in video playback, Adobe's blog can help you find some solutions, so you need not worry. Similarly, developers can remain calm because they get access to all the released versions of Flash Player for Android in archives, though updates to them will be nowhere to be found. Putting an end to an era of Flash, we have surpassed a major milestone that revolutionized the wireless devices industry. Flash, thou will always be remembered. RIP.
