There are lots of iPhone SDK tutorials on the web now. It's a little confusing to come across a tutorial/post where someone is stating they can't do this or that because of the NDA. Yet, the NDA has been lifted. What exactly are the restrictions in regards to posting code and talking about the SDK?

Here's one example: The book 'iPhone SDK Development', http://www.pragprog.com/titles/amiphd/iphone-sdk-development, didn't go to press because of NDA violations. Yet they are going to publish in May 2009. Confusing.

If someone creates an iPhone SDK cheat sheet type app, will it get rejected from the App Store because of NDA violations?

+4  A: 

The NDA has only been lifted for current public releases of the OS. Developer-seeded future releases are still under NDA.

So people are free to talk and post code up to SDK 2.2.1? Meaning you can write an iPhone sdk cheat sheet app about 2.2.1 with no fear of NDA violation.
