The Apple apps that use these private APIs are publicly available. They're not beta versions. If the APIs are unstable then why are Apple releasing apps that use them?


With first-party apps being under Apple's control, it's possible to test them extensively, or make sure that they only use a working subset of the API, etc.


Yep I know, you could consider these production apps as beta tests of the API.

If they mess up the API calls, they can sidetrack the review process and deliver a swift update.
