Re: Apple Approves Iphone 4 LED Flash To Be Used As Flashlight
Well, it's a little off-topic, but the super-simple explanation is that Apple puts a bunch of code (APIs) on the phone for other developers to use in their apps. However, some of it is marked "public" and some is "private". If a third-party developer gets caught using "private" code, then their app gets yanked.
On topic: I'm pretty sure I read yesterday that Apple is officially allowing any "flashlight" apps that popup a warning to the user that battery life will be "negatively affected".
I think all apps are "wired into hardware".
