I am not a lawyer, and a lawyer is probably what you should consult for
a definitive answer on this if you are worried, but...

I believe you cannot infringe any Apple patent by using/linking a
library that is released by a project they are the biggest part of. You
would only be breaking a patent if you were using the patented technique
in your own code.

See you,
