[wp-xmlrpc] Possible to filter posts users see in their mobile app?

[Muro, Matthew]

Currently, I'm only running through the filters if is_admin() which might be why the filter isn't being applied.

I just added a check for the XMLRPC_REQUEST constant, manually filtered pre_get_posts and list_terms_exclusions and the posts/categories were properly restricted.

This is what I'm doing to handle xml-rpc:
if ( defined ( 'XMLRPC_REQUEST' ) && XMLRPC_REQUEST ) {
add_action( 'xmlrpc_call', array( &$this, 'posts' ) );
}

In my posts function is where I'm setting the categories and hooking into the filters I mentioned above.

Is there anything else I need to be checking for or will this cover it?

Matthew,

This really depends on which XML-RPC calls the mobile application is making.
 Off the top of my head, I'd think they were using `blogger.getRecentPosts`
to get the blog's most recent posts.  This method internally calls
wp_get_recent_posts() which uses the get_posts() function to pull things
from the database.

This *should* be firing the pre_get_posts automatically.  Is it not?  Have
you tried to trace the route of a request?  What have you done so far to
extend this functionality to users of the WordPress iOS app and what have
been the results?
