Just for planning purposes, does anyone have any predictions on the end of life (drop dead date) for Flex Applications?
Hi David,
Please check this online doc for ArcGIS Web Mapping Product Life Cycle Support Status:
http://downloads.esri.com/support/product%20life%20cycle/online_gis/ArcGISWebMappingAPIs_PLC.pdf
And here is another blog talks about the Plan for ArcGIS APIS/ Flex
Final Release Support Plan for ArcGIS API / Viewer (Flex, Silverlight) | Support Services Blog
Hope this can help.
Flex and Silverlight 3.x versions of Web API and Viewers will be retired on June 1, 2016. More information is provided in this online doc for ArcGIS Web Mapping Product Life Cycle Support Status:
Thanks,
Richardson
I understand ESRI will retire Flex on June 1, 2016. I assume this will mean, no new releases and support will be non-existent or minimal. However, what will drive the ultimate failure of Flex Applications and when should I expect to see D-Day?
What exactly does it mean '...will be retired'? Will existing Flex apps cease working on June 1 2015?
Hi Michael,
Your existing Flex apps will continue to work. Retired Phase means that these Softwares have been removed and are no longer available or supported. Apart from that Phone and chat Technical support will not be available. Access to very limited support will be provided through the online support center including knowledge base, supported environment, downloads, and discussion forums. Although the online information will remain available to users, this information will not be updated for retired products. Users, however, will be able to browse existing documents.
Richardson, thanks for the clarification.
September 1st, 2015, was D-Day for Chrome.
Plugin-based content doesn't work on Chrome - Chrome Help
Flex apps are still working for us in Chrome.
I haven't looked back since dropping Silverlight a couple of years ago - is it PPAPI now? As far as I know, there's no PPAPI Silverlight support; if flex is working for you, it's probably PPAPI.
Hi Richardson, My web application uses ArcGIS for flex, and uses Bing Maps basemap , then my application is still valid ?
Thanks
