Extend LiveCode with iOS SDK..

Hi there,
is it right, that I can extend LiveCode by myself with the iOS-SDK to access iOS features?

If the answer is yes: Does this work every time, even if the iOS-SDK is brand new released?

Right now access to OS APIs is done through LiveCode's externals API. Very soon we'll start getting pre-release versions of LiveCode 8.0, which will allow OS API access directly in our scripts.

As for API longevity, that's up to the API provider. If you write code today that uses an API the vendor later deprecates, you'll need to update your code.

Ok, thank you

So, just to be clear - that means:

Right now, I can access EVERY iOS-API-Function via LiveCode's external API (such as iCloud-features).

And in LC8 I can access them directly in my script. What means, that things like mergExt are useless in LC8 - right?

BTW: Very soon means? And do you know, if it will be possible to test Apps directly on the device without simulator?
