iPhone Application Key Leaked

Posted by kdawson on from the sign-early-and-often dept.

HighWizard writes with word from Engadget that the iPhone SDK Key has been leaked early. "We're not exactly sure how this all went down, but we trust Erica Sadun over at TUAW when she says that it appears that the iPhone's SDK key — which will probably be required by all 'official' third-party apps — has been leaked. Two different sites currently have the key posted, but it's all just for show until next month, when the SDK hits for real — and the code is undoubtedly changed."

    Regardless, it's fruitless for Apple to try & stop free third party apps. Yeah, the core of the problem is locking-in the SDK in the first place. They should adopt a less rotten attitude and just open it up for any developer to contribute free apps to the platform.

    OK, I'm done. Ready to take the karma beating.

    What makes you think that crackers got the key from the SDK's "authorization system" and not from an Apple insider?

    Well in that case we just need tighter Apple insiders....how many of those insiders are women I wonder?
