The auth lib for iCloud is inherently insecure, for you, and obviously not for Apple, Inc. I would fork this project into two separate products, which is abhorrent to do, but it must be done.

I would never consciously integrate a library from a third party. I am in the middle of scanning every single release of 'VenToy' into virus scanners, awaiting for the moment when an NZ-type vulnerability proves true.

Its not that Apples payment stream depends on this, its their subscription model.

Beware of offering a feature free that Apple thinks is interesting, they will lock you out, and start charging people for it.

Doubly beware of p*ssing off geeks, the will go to bed on Friday, in an angry state, and fervently work all weekend both to black box your product, but to trivialize the implementation of it. Now those are the really scary people.
