[Moderator] iPhone SDK still in effect

  • iPhone SDK
    ----------

    Until an announcement is made otherwise, developers should be aware
    that the iPhone SDK is still under non-disclosure (section 5.3 of the
    iPhone Development Agreement). It can't be discussed here, or anywhere
    publicly. This includes other mailing lists, forums, and also blogs.
    Violating the NDA will result in WWDR being notified of the breach.
    Further action is a their (and legal's) discretion.

    The iPhone SDK situation is somewhat different than a Mac OS X
    release, in that a Mac OS X release includes a copy of the developer
    tools with the distribution. The iPhone OS 2.0 release on devices and
    as an upgrade does _not_ include the development tools. As a result,
    the SDK is not automatically considered public because the release has
    occurred.

    Section 5.3 of the iPhone Development Agreement remains in force at
    this time, and will so remain until iPhone Developer Program members
    are specifically and personally notified by an authorized
    representative of Apple.

    Xcode 3.1
    ---------

    iPhone SDK requires Xcode 3.1 so it contains it (because it won't work
    without it).

    Xcode 3.1 is available indepently of the iPhone Developer Program and
    its nondisclosure agreement, so it's available as a download
    separately from the iPhone SDK,.

    Whichever you choose, the Xcode build and installation is identical.
    But you still can't discuss the iPhone SDK.

    Questions about Xcode and Interface Builder are best addressed to the <xcode-users...>
      mailing list.

    SnowLeopard NDA
    ===============

    The SnowLeopard seed is under non-disclosure and can not be discussed
    here.
