I'm doing an application that can play podcasts, but i feel more comfortable if the iPhone default podcast application plays the files, instead of me having to handle them.
When I pass the URL to the sharedApplication object, Safari opens and starts playing it ... but I'd like to skip the user seeing Safari. Is there any way?

To listen to your favorite podcasts on Android, install a podcast app like Google Podcasts and subscribe to the shows you want to hear to have them automatically downloaded. You can also find many podcasts on the podcast host's website and stream them from there.
Apple Podcasts embed players are available directly from the Apple Podcasts Preview pages on the web. Click the share button, and “copy embed” is available for either a show or episode, or use Apple Podcasts Marketing Tools.
The podcasts app does not have a public API. Therefore you cannot get it to play podcasts on your behalf.
Since the podcasts are added to your media library you should be able to find them with a media library query and start background playback easily.
