I see .. so AVFoundation was already there since 10.7, its AVKit that's
new in 10.9
but AV Foundation is what FX would use.
It looks like Apple starting encouraging migration to AV Foundation
about 18 months ago
based on the date of this document :-
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2300/_index.html
I suppose we need to learn read the apple seeds and interpret that as a
big, urgent, hint.

Therein lies The Problem, and why we had to go with QTKit when we supported
10.6... Every two releases they seem to deprecate half-baked APIs in favor of
some new half-baked API. At least as of 10.8 that seems to have stabilized
somewhat, as we transition more and more to an iOS clone.
We had issues with AVFoundation not working the way we needed and it wasn't
available on 10.6. It's supposed to work correctly (never had time to confirm)
on 10.8 but that still leaves 10.7 out in the cold. So we'll likely have to
stick with QTKit for older releases and move to AVFoundation in 10.8 and later.
Ideally, the QTKit component would be separate so it could be removed allowing
MAS apps to still support A/V playback. I think the QTKit component can be
dropped completely in FX 9 but it needs to be there in FX 8.
AVKit is a high level component that sits on top of AVFoundation, it doesn't
look useful for our purposes at first glance.

I presume that Apple now want you to use AVKit which is new in 10.9.
However I don't understand how you can develop an app that targets 10.8 if its
unable to use QTKit since that's all there is on 10.8 or earlier.
Does the AppStore really disallow targeting something like half the installed
base ??

Thanks for the verification. No matter what state Quicktime is in it is no
longer accepted by the Apple Store.
I am guessing these new rules will soon apply to everything but I could be
wrong.

Hi All,
Apparently the JavaFX includes some libraries that use the obsolete Quicktime.
When some submits to the Apple Store a JavaFX app it gets rejected based on
JavaFX having the obsolete API. I found out how to fix it from someone else
running into the same issue.

It uses the now deprecated QTKit to play media.
