Do these community supported SDK/APIs ever work? In my experience (Strava and Spotify APIs) it's an excuse for the company to release a load of half-baked crap and then wash their hands of supporting it. Allowing them to tick the box that they offer a public API and make themselves look better. Despite members of the public donating their time to help each other, without participation from the company itself it's all trial and error development with everyone running into the same bugs that never get fixed.

It's great that some companies have finally recognised the value in providing public SDK/APIs but they should be investing in supporting them also.
