Putting it in the public API and calling it unstable isn’t really how Apple does software though with built-in frameworks shipping in the OS and not apps (vs Android putting most in the bundle)

API’s gets iterated as private until sufficiently functional/tested, then a quick beta and productionised

In Apple’s case it depends how the API is implemented, doing an entitlement check is relatively expensive verses just making it a private method that someone’s pretty unlikely to call.

Those are easily callable via msgsend/swizzling/reflection, but will crash when the signature changes

Monzo and Revolut both did this back in the day (developer events iirc)?

Yeah, I’m a huge fan but the evergreen #uspol here is exhausting
