You are limited to using public APIs. You have to agree to that to get the iphone SDK. Apple doesn't have to follow those rules and can poke as deep into the iphone OS at it likes. Now you could reverse engineer what they do and write an app using your newfound knowledge. But it won't be much help as Apple will refuse to approve the application.

If it something you want to write for yourself, go for it. Just
don't expect to ever find your program in the app store, regardless
of how great it might be.

This is NOT a technical issue (and therefor another reason why it
has nothing to do with cocoa-dev).  It is policy issue.  If you don't
like Apple's policy argue with apple, not the folks on cocoa-dev.

ok. thanks for making that clear for me, and for taking the time to write a constructive response. I guess I'm done then :(
