And I don't understand why you post random links about issues you are not familiar with, which is what you would need to digest them.

Some APIs are not ready for developer use, end of story. Apple does right to forbid their use to avoid crashes on the next iOS upgrade. It's not some plot to gain advantage. CoverFlow clones were always welcome, page curl is already published (clones were welcome before that, I coded one btw), JSON parser already published, some other APIs have no place on developer space.

Your complain should be: Apple doesn't open source their system.

If they aren't ready, why does apple use them?

> Apple does right to forbid their use to avoid crashes on the next iOS upgrade

Why doesn't this argument apply to apple? Are there any other methods of preventing crashing?

> Your complain should be: Apple doesn't open source their system.

No. My complaint is that apple doesn't treat developers as fellow programmers, but more like "end developers" or something. Apple gets to do it differently. Case in point being OP's post.

You're projecting :-/
