Urban Airship actually instructs you to create a plist file for an iOS app where you specify your production app keys. http://docs.urbanairship.com/build/ios.html

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but it's not always practical and perhaps not even possible. For example the push notifications SDK from Urban Airship and app analytics SDK from Flurry depend on having credentials stored

They (or someone working with them) would have had to download the app and inspect it. They clearly tell me that they've detected access credentials in the app itself. That's not conjecture.

I'm not implying that there's anything wrong. Quite the contrary actually.

I don't think they're looking for higher than average API calls for a given key because my charges were completely expected.

I often find that Disconnect can be overly aggressive in the parts of a page that it blocks. When something is amiss when using a webpage whitelisting the site in Disconnect usually fixes the problem.

If there was indication that something was awry the passengers would have had plenty of time before reaching the open ocean to use various forms of communication.
