I’ve only heard about what UIProgressHUD class do, but i cannot find the implementation of this class or any documentation. Reference to this class can be found in ‘The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook 1st Edition’ book, and other articles on the internet:

http://blogs.oreilly.com/iphone/2008/02/using-a-progress-heads-up-disp.html
… and maybe others. I just want to know if i can still use this class somehow. Does anyone has the .h and .m class files? Or is there any other class that does something what UIProgressHUD is suppose to do (open an alert like window showing progress indicator with a message).
Thanks. Mustafa
Don’t use private APIs. If you’re lucky, Apple will approve your app, then change or remove the API in an OS update, angering your customers. If you’re unlucky, Apple will reject your app.
On the Mac, you can get away with it (at least temporarily). On the iPhone, don’t use private APIs, EVER.
Edit: And since this answer was originally written, Apple added an App Store to the Mac. Same rule applies there: If you want to distribute your app in the App Store, don’t use private APIs, EVER.
