Launching Facetime from your app?

I am seeing that you can launch FaceTime from your app via 

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"facetime://tel-number"]];

I am also reading that since there is no officially public FaceTime API apple will reject you.

Does anyone know if this rejection talk is true? PAIR has this feature and they have never been rejected.
