As per the title. I searched all through the Apple website, and cannot find anything about it. I am not an iPhone developer member (yet) so don't have access to that stuff. I just want to develop an Android application that can talk with the FaceTime protocol.

It would be a bit silly if we all had to pay Apple just to view the FaceTime documentation to implement the protocol in our non-iOS applications.

You don't have to pay to get the SDK, just to be able to test on devices

The docs for facetime are not yet available. You're not missing anything.

You are correct, there are no docs (currently). BUT you can facetime from a URL. eg facetime://5555555555 to see if this works. Just open Safari on the iPhone and type that URL hit enter and it will work. iPhone ios 4.1

Sure, but that's not the FaceTime protocol spec now, is it?

At least to get started, take a look at this for the list of IETF standards used by Facetime: http://blog.imtc.org/index.php/2010/06/09/the-technology-behind-apples-facetime-standards/

Additionally, Apple has said it will be submitting Facetime as an open standard - so there should be more documentation on how all these standards glue together in Facetime. . anyone know when this will come out?
