Suddenly, Apple's CloudKit doesn't seem so unattractive - but at the same time I fear it will face a similar fate. Anyone have any insight about whether it's "safe" to build upon? Is there yet an Android solution for connecting to their REST API?

Wow - the dashboard looks close to Parse's new dashboard.

AFAIK, the new Photos app in iOS and OS X are built on CloudKit. So I assume it will only die when iOS dies, which could be another decade or so.

Well, that's not much reassurance because they stopped publicly selling/supporting WebObjects long before they stopped using it themselves.

Pretty sure they still use WebObjects for iTunesConnect (at least).
