Is there any way I can make podcast application from iphone play my podcasts ? ( with code )

I'm doing an application that can play podcasts, but i feel more comfortable if the iPhone default podcast application plays the files, instead of me having to handle them.

When I pass the URL to the sharedApplication object, Safari opens and starts playing it ... but I'd like to 开发者_开发技巧skip the user seeing Safari. Is there any way?

The podcasts app does not have a public API. Therefore you cannot get it to play podcasts on your behalf.

Since the podcasts are added to your media library you should be able to find them with a media library query and start background playback easily.
