Don't Touch The iPhone 3.0 Music API
August 4th, 2009After confirming with colleagues also trying to get their applications that utilize the Music API, included in the iPhone OS 3, it appears applications that utilize this API will be ushered aside in an app approval waiting cell. Speaking from experience, I currently have an application up in holding which is not only a bummer for me, but also everyone who might want to download it (for free). Some developers have received notices from Apple that the review time will take longer, but any and all details including a time table for approval thereafter are not stated in their emails. Any attempts to contact them through email are met with canned useless answers.

My suggestion to developers is to stay away from this cool and enticing API until we have some answers to why Apple doesn’t want to approve them. If you don’t heed my advice, beware , your efforts may get trapped in this app approval cell and not get out.
