IOS App with non-public selectors can be accepted by Apple?

Question

I use voluntarily a private Apple API in my code. Just as I feared, I Archived and validated my app with the following warning: /!\ the app references non-public selectors in Playload ...

To give more explanation, I use the private API to access to the avplayer of a UIWebView. Then, I'm able to manage this player in background without any user interactions! (I have any other solution)

What are the risks to be rejected? It is possible to be accepted with a warning like this one? It is smart (or not at all) to try to submit it?

Answer 1

In my case, my application has been accepted by Apple and available on the app store. So if you're not in a hurry, you can try! (but it's not recommended)
