You might have seen this name pop up recently among CS5 updates. “APE” is essentially WebKit (the open-source, HTML-rendering engine behind Safari and Chrome) plus Flash Player. Or, put another way, it’s Adobe AIR (which is WebKit + Flash) with modifications to support Suite extensibility (e.g. things like Configurator). In any case, you’ll want to download the recent update (if you haven’t already) as it addresses bugs & security issues.
AIR also has PDF tech builtin as well. Just to be annoyingly specific.
Not to be confused with APPE … the Adobe PDF Print Engine (for us dinosaurs still in the print world.)
APE = Ajax Push Engine, sorry.
John,
Numb nuts here, Doe that mean my web site (flash) can be seen on IPAD?? or watch videos that have flash videos on IPAD or IPHONE 4.0??

APE = Another Physics Engine (sorta irrelevant thanks to solid Box2D ports)
APE = Monkey’s Audio lossless compressor.
