Edit -- 2013/02/13 -- Adobe Flash Player is now disconnected from Play/Market, so side-loading is required. Official Adobe site for APKs (and other platforms) is http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Original post:
I read the CERT information on updating Adobe Flash, but it isn't showing up in Google Play for me under CM9. Force attach to market in TiB didn't seem to work for me either. Running on CM9 it is not part of the ROM.
Users of Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.19 and earlier versions for Android 3.x and earlier versions should update to Flash Player 11.1.111.24.

Has anyone found a way to get the current apk installed?
Edit -- Adobe Flash can be found in Play on your list of "Installed Apps" likely near the bottom -- thanks to stoneduser8907 for this! (No longer the case)
Since its for 3.x and earlier versions of android isn't cm9 4.04 so that may be why. Don't know a whole lot in the dev area but read through and that would make since to me as to why it wouldn't be there.

It's still not clear to me why it isn't/wasn't showing up in Play, but there are several threads on XDA with the apk available. Since it isn't from Adobe, I can't vouch for the source, but I installed the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978148
To be honest with you I haven't seen Flash Player in Play for awhile. I had been going between mtd and bml roms and kept downloading apps fresh and I've been having to Google the apk to install it while on ICS.

When having to search for it to install on cm9....i read that its nolonger being supported for 4.x.x
So you wont find it in the market. I did find that if you go directly to their site you can dl it though
I know that they weren't offering Flash if you didn't already have it installed, but I was under the perception that it would still upgrade.

Jeff on mine if you go into play store hit my apps. It should load page with your installed apps I go to tab to right of it called ALL and that's only way I've found to show it on play store to where you could update. That particular tab shows all the apps you've downloaded and installed in the past.

From CERT:
Adobe Releases Security Update for Adobe Flash Player
added Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 4:05 pm
Adobe has released a security update for Adobe Flash Player to address multiple vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition or take control of the affected systems.
Adobe has released updates for the following versions:
Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.149 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh
Adobe Flash player 11.2.202.262 and earlier versions for Linux
Adobe Flash player 11.1.115.37 and earlier versions for Android 4.x devices

So as we are all aware Adobe said they wouldn't support flash in Jelly Bean, as stated here - http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/375574/adobe-kills-off-flash-for-android
Of course on the Jelly Bean ROM I'm running flash doesn't appear in the market, but when I installed the apk, flash worked perfectly on a number of websites.
Just out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone knew the reason as to why it still works?! This is not a huge update to ICS so may be due to that but I was just being interested and wondering. Anyone have any insight?
Cheers guys.
EDIT: I have attached the adobe flash apk, the latest one. Install it on your device manually if you're running jelly bean and flash should work. Although I think we have established it will only work in the default android browser
They've only stopped support, doesn't mean that it won't work but if it doesn't on certain devices then they won't fix it or support it, because it's not a massive update there's a very good chance that it will work.
Basically the apk is the android software, the Google Play store filters out Adobe flash because you are running Android 4.1 jelly bean which explains why you cannot find it in the Google Play store.
When you install the apk, it will still work because Adobe have only stopped support for it, they haven't disabled it or blocked it. The term 'support it' means to give the product updates and provide help for users. Adobe are no longer providing updates (apart from security updates) and help to users for Adobe flash on android.

Use the stock browser. If you're using any other browser it may/may not work/may work slightly. But the apk in the OP is pulled from my motorola xoom and i have it installed and it was working on youtube and various other flash sites through the stock browser.
Dolphin HD browser won't load flash (and has a nasty nag screen if you try to enable it).
Many thanks for the information from here and other sources, as a result of which I've managed to get Flash sites working on the Nexus 7. In case it helps the non-technical, I've blogged full step by step instructions with screenshots on how to install Flash on the Nexus 7 and set up browsers (with link back to this thread), at my blog at consumingexperience.com (sorry, I'm new here so can't post a working link direct to the post).
I've tested several browsers and listed the results and browser settings in that post. Mainly I've tried them on UK TV catchup sites ie BBC iPlayer, 4od, Demand Five, ITV Player.
In summary, generally on the Nexus 7 I found Firefox Aurora (with the Phony add-on) and XScope to be the most reliable so far. An older version of Dolphin does work, but not as well. I couldn't get either Opera Mobile or Opera Mini to work.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this! I had another apk that everyone claimed was working fine but I have the CM10 preview build for Verizon Galaxy Nexus and couldn't play any videos until I tried your apk.

Anyone else know about this? Why are Adobe canceling Flash for Android cause of JB issues? Most people are using GB anyway....

You can still download the apk from many many places including xda..
So, the removal of Flash from Play Store doesn't really matter much.
As announced directly from Adobe, Android will no longer support Flash Player to the latest version of the OS and then Google came home on devices not just the Flash Player.
Is not officially supported, but that does not mean that Flash Player can not be installed on our device with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.
Here, in fact, a small guide to follow to install Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.12:
1) Download the file. Apk of Flash Player:http://www.mediafire.com/?lqxd6qnr63kj2t1
Download the file flash_player version 11.1.102.59.apk:http://d-h.st/o1I
Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 APK (Supports Flash):http://d-h.st/3ZS
2) Copy your files to the SD card of your Android device. (Be it tablet or smartphone, it makes no difference)
3) Install it using any File Manager.
4) Start the Browser
5) Go into the Browser settings and uncheck the option of Flash Player (on demand or always on at your discretion)
6) Finally you have the latest version of Flash also Android!
NB Adobe Flash Player is not officially supported and therefore the speed of loading of Flash objects in HTML pages is not guaranteed at the highest levels. However, as tested, Flash Player behaves well with satisfactory results.

This is VERY old news, Adobe made the anoucement back when ICS was released there is no need for another thread :/
It would be nice if Flash died (except for already-created games/animations). HTML5 YouTube player on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 works great and doesn't affect performance much. Flash Player is a battery hog and is only really there for compatibility. A lot of sites are designed for the iPhone, which doesn't do Flash. When you think about it, very few mobile-capable sites use Flash.

Flash player is outdated now, it's a good thing to be abandoned
Interesting..
I think you can still download from other places
Yeah you can still get it, but it's sad that development has stopped. Flash for android is such a plus for me.
it is so bad
look! I think the next generation of smartphone is intergrated HTML5. Adobe flash player isn't all we think about on android. It's good. But it's done

Adobe Flash Player 11 was OFFICIALLY dropped by Google and will no longer function on ICS and JB due to the fact Google is moving to HTML5. Only Gingerbread users are able to download the app.
Don't never ever install Adobe Flash Player on ICS phones and up.

I thought that it was because the legal confrontation between Apple and Google. Apple reached an agreement with Adobe, leaving Google with no flash player...
At least that's what i heard :S
cheers
EDIT: well, I meant that Adobe stopped updating it's flash player for Android for that reason.

No.. its just that, Adobe found flash player useless with the coming of HTML5.. With advanced tech.. flash player was no longer required..
I've come to realize that flash-based media is not supported by adobe while on jellybean. I came across a post somewhere on the boards which had me install a specific adobe flash player 11.1 apk, but still the video/browser (dolphin) crashes.
Will there be any development or integration of flash player in any jellybean+ ROMs? Its sad to see that android once had the flash advantage over the iPhone and now adobe isn't supporting us anymore!

Just search "flash for jellybean" or "jellybean flash player" on the play store...there are apps that download the appropriate flash version...
No they won't be integrated on any jb build as devas can face legal problems due to not having permission from adobe to include them in their ROMs...just like Google threatened to sue cyanogenmod for including gapps a while back, because of that we now have separate gapps to flash on top of cyanogenmod and other aosp roms

Hi, I haven't yet the Galaxy s3 but i want to ask you a question.. for me the flash player is important then I read that there is a possibility to install it because in the market android there isn't (i'm italian then in my nation this app isn't in the market)
then, it's secure install an app not recognized by the sytem? there is a kind of lag and things like this or it's perfect?
now, i want to know how i can install this,
1) first of all i must allow Unknown Sources when prompted or else it will not install
2) then I must download the file flash_player version 11.1.115.27, right?
3) finally run the stock browser
right? help me please
You don't really need flash. Just use chrome

You are right. Unfortunately adobe flash is not supported on android 4.0 so just use Dolphin Beta or Chrome. I was a big adobe flash fan but when I upgraded to the S3 it took me a while to get used to not having flash. I found Chrome (specialy the newest version) is not that bad also Dolphin Beta. I use the 2 regularly.

That is so misleading. There are still many sites out there that use flash that you can't view without using the now unsupported flash application and a browser that supports it, like the stock browser on GSIII. I use chrome, but occasionally call the stock browser for sites with flash.

HTML5 may be the future, but Flash is still very much the present. Don't let the Apple-esque mindsets tell you otherwise. Flash is necessary for a complete web experience. Get the Flash APK, install it, and enjoy. It will appear in your market under your apps afterward and will update normally.
I use the Android browser with it, and it works fine. As stated, other 3rd party browsers will work well with Flash, too.

How do I get it to show up in the Play store? I just manually updated from version .17 to .27, although Adobe's flash player test page shows it's still .17(?). Neither version of Flash player shows up in the Play store for me, under the installed or all tabs.
I ~believe~ the process I used was side-loading the Flash .apk file and using Astro file manager to install it. After that, it showed up for my S III in the Play Store.
Hmm. I used dropbox to put it on my sdcard, then installed through ES File Explorer. ES/Astro - same thing, right? Oh well, at least it's functional.
