Yes it is. There was an SDK called TapLynx back in the day made by Brent Simmons of NewsGator and Innesential [0] fame. . It was $600 and a quick way to get an App released in the late App gold rush days with only an XML file. It was acquired by PushIO which was acquired by Oracle. Along the way the SDK stopped getting updates with new iOS versions and Apps stopped working. The yearly updates of the iOS SDK will impose a bunch of work on SDKs like this to keep up. A good model for open source. All the best to the author, might be a good model for a consulting gig around the open source SDK for sure. [0] http://inessential.com/ http://inessential.com/
