That's a pretty boring way of preventing someone from using the API. You could easily swizzle the _popoversDisabled method and get away with it.

I remember trying to use a private API on Mac OS X and having my app receive a SIGKILL prompty after calling the function. It took me a while to find the fix: my app had to be signed. Mind you, it could be codesigned by a self-signed certificate and the system would be fine with it... these were fun times :)
