Opened Xfinity Stream this morning and I got a splash page telling me to update my adobe flash software. I didn’t know adobe was on iPad pro’s. Should I install? I don’t see iOS listed. I see Microsoft versions, Linux, Firefox and others.
if I don’t need flash, how do I get the splash page to stop coming up? Thanks
iPad Pro, iOS 13
The likely reason for seeing unexpected prompts to install Flash, following update to iPadOS, is the new default “Request Desktop” version of websites. Prior versions of iOS defaulted to requesting and rendering the “Mobile” version.
What’s different is that the iPad, when requesting the “Desktop” site - declares its OS/browser as being Mac/Safari - which, when Flash isn’t detected, often triggers a prompt from the website to install the plugin - which, as we all know, is not something that iPadOS/iOS can support.
And there you have it. If you change your iPad Safari browser setting to “Request Mobile Website”, the iPad resumes its true identity - and no prompts will be served.
Hope this clarifies the what and why.
Hello,
No version of iPad has ever supported Adobe Flash.
Wow. I thought that BUT if you go into Xfinity.com and onto the Xfinity site and go to “stream” from there I bet you’ll see what I see. If you use the Stream app, you dont.
That means the Xfinity app is seeing Safari as a desktop browser and not seeing it as an iPad browser. You need to use the app to watch their content.
