title: Exceptions to no private API usage in iOS?
body: <p>My company is looking to develop an iOS application which would need to make use of private APIs to function - in fact use of such APIs is the entire basis of the program (I'm purposely not revealing details for business reasons).</p>
  
  <p>My question is, is there any chance that if we explained the situation, that Apple would allow an exception for our app to be approved even when using these private APIs? I believe we have a very legitimate reason to request an exception for the functionality we're looking for, so I'd just like some examples of any exceptions that have been made to the private APIs rule with details so that we can have a better idea of what might be expected from Apple. Thanks.</p>
