What approach are you fellow iPhone developers out there using for standard icons in e.g. tab bars (one that is not provided here, of course)? For example, if I wanted to use one of the icons from the iPod app.

I can see three approaches:

  • Use the "magic image constant" for the image. I believe this qualifies as using private API -> no no.
  • Copying the image from the app or from a screenshot of it -> possible copyright violations ?
  • Using a similar but not identical image that I have drawn myself (or let someone do it) -> inconsistent user experience

So, what should I do?

A: 

It's described here.

I read it once, but never tried. Like to hear about the success if you will.

Thanks, yes I acutally read that blog post (that's point #2). However, my concern is still about my app being rejected for copyright violations. His app was rejected for different reasons, but he might just have been lucky, that's my concern. I want to know if people are using that strategy successfully before I try it :)
