This is to document Apples private APIs that most iOS developers will never use. As these API are inherently volatile the Q&A site will be very dynamic. The intended audience is; Hackers, Enthusiasts and developers looking at future uses of iOS devices. – rjstelling Aug 31 '10 at 16:57

if the APIs are undocumented .. what prevents Apple from yanking them in a future release? – warren Aug 31 '10 at 19:28

@warren This is exactly why we need to document them. Developers can use the site to see why their R&D app is broken or how to port private APIs to public APIs. – rjstelling Sep 1 '10 at 10:57
