Rumors: iPhone Application Key reportedly leaked
Thought I'd see a few threads here on this. It's on reddit and digg and everywhere else.
I don't own an iPhone but I thought I'd pass it along. Seems to be a huge blunder on Apple's part.

Last night, an anonymous tipster pointed us to this Austin Heap webpage that purportedly reveals the iPhone's secret Application SDK key. Another tipster, also anonymous, then tipped me to iPhone "Elite" developer Zibri's blog, that shows the same key. So what does this mean? Since all iPhone applications must be properly signed for iTunes to process them and for the iPhone to load them, this key suggests that hackers are closer to creating compliant IPA application bundles for home-brew iTunes distribution. With the proper key, developers can create and distribute applications that load through iTunes without Apple's blessing.
