Flash Player for iPad, iPhone and iPod

Updated 2011-07-15: Full list of all methods which help you use Flash on iPad 2, iPhone 4 and iPod. All methods are in details and tested. The comments before this date may be irrelevant.

This guide will help you to install the flash player on your iPad, iPhone and iPod so that you can access the hidden treasures of flash through your device on the web.

There are two kinds of method to view flash on the devices, Jail-broken one and non-jail-broken one. It will be much easier to install the free app on a normal device without jailbreak. But the tradeoff is you need to run them every time you watch or use Flash. This will not be the case by using Frash method in a jail-broken method.

Let’s start with normal devices.

Flash for normal devices:

You don’t need to jailbreak your device to use Flash. Installing an App will do it. We list two popular free Apps below which will help your device run flash content. Each one has its pros and cons.

SkyFire (Free)

SkyFire is the most popular web browser on App store which gives you the full desktop experience on the device. SkyFire can only run the flash videos, like ads or flash players embedded on the websites. SkyFire is not made to run the interactive flash content like the web based flash games. There are millions of flash interactive games out there, so if you are limited to only the videos and clips that’s a big trade off. So, it depends upon your usage whether you want flash for interactive content or you are fine with videos,clips only.

iSwifter (Free)

iSwifter is the first cloud-based Flash game streaming service specifically built for mobile devices including smart phones and tablets. What it does, it plays the flash content on it’s server and stream it on your device as a movie or clip. So you can run any type of flash content through this application on your device. It can play the interactive flash content pretty well, as well as the flash videos and clips, so there are no limitations. You can play flash games using this application. But here is the trade off, earlier back when it was launched it was able to play Hulu videos but now iSwifter’s servers are actively being blocked as it broke Hulu’s encryption to convert videos. So, if you are planning to watch your favorite episodes on Hulu, don’t get this application.
