I'm not sure that Gianduja is intended as an analogue to Flash. It looks more like another JavaScript library to me, and there are plenty of those already. > Yes, of course I agree.

Apple strictly controls their mobile device platform, and it's not in their perceived best interest to support Flash. They see this as diluting the value of their platform, and I think they're probably right about this. They're gambling that people will continue developing for their platform, and will develop first for their platform, which will be a disadvantage for competing platforms like Android. Of course, their gamble could be wrong. If you don't like it, I suggest you not develop for the App Store. If enough people do this, the problem will self-correct.
