Apple has reportedly lifted the ban denying app developers from using Adobe's Flash software and at the same time various other third party developers tools on their product offerings.

Through a released statement it was claimed by the firm that it has lifted the norms placed on iPhone and iPad application developers who use Adobe's Flash software in their products, as reported by stock market research site Beacon.

Apple stated: "We are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need."

It was further added that the change in norms now aides Apple developers to write applications in another programming language helping them convert into an Apple approved version.

Developers however are forbidden to download any code within an app.

Meanwhile, Adobe's share prices have grown up by 11 per cent soon after the pronouncement.
