Can FaceTime be used within an app in ios5?

Have an app idea that I'd like to make using FaceTime. Can this application layer though be implemented开发者_运维技巧 in a 3rd party app or does it only run as FaceTime?

Apple did mention that FaceTime would be an open standard but so far they have not released an API so the answer is no. It's a shame because there are some really cool things which could potentially be done if Apple decided to open it up.

You can initiate a FaceTime call like this, but it won't be in app.

NSURL *facetimeURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"facetime://15555555555"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:facetimeURL];
