I’m hearing from a couple of different sources that Apple’s App Store reviewers now have some way to scan submitted applications to detect the use of private APIs. I’ve never been an advocate of using Private APIs, and Dave and I strictly avoid them for the book examples, but I always thought it strange that Apple left to the honor system any use of private APIs that couldn’t be easily discerned.

Wil Shipley of Delicious Monster and a titan in the world of Cocoa programming recently tweeted some bad news. The free Delicious Library 2 companion iPhone App has been pulled from the App Store and won’t be returning. Why, you ask?

I’m pretty easy going about my writing and my code. I’ve granted people permission to republish blog posts in whole on several occasions. In fact, I can’t recall ever having said no to somebody who’s asked to republish a blog posting. On top of that, all the code I publish (unless it wasn’t written by me) is published under a license that allows unlimited re-use without attribution.
