Why does Pixel Bender not work on iPhone deployments for FB4.5?"

[jahiro_himalaya]

Hi Adobe,

I can happily create iOS applications with FB4.5, however Pixel Bender effects do not work once I deploy my app to my device.

The simulator preview shows the Pixel Bender effect working perfectly. It's only when I run the app on my iPhone does the effect fail to work - I don't get any errors or anything, it's just as if the effect isn't applied.

Is this a known limitation with iOS deployments? No Pixel Bender on iOS?

Any help would be super appreciated!

Any ideas Adobe? Is there a list of unsupported features for iOS that we can view?

Bump - any update on this?

In short, Pixel Bender does not work on iOS. I'm assuming this is due to restrictions set by Apple on disallowing dynamic interpreted code execution from applications.
