You license says:

Does this mean in my commercial app that also uses your SDK, Can I say in my App Store description that "You can control your Philips Hue lights with this app". Am I allowed to use your name like this?

You should not state that HUE endorses your product, you can and should state your product works with HUE.

Thanks. I see 2 repos on github for ios. One of them is more recent and its linked from developer developers.meethue.com. But it says its deprecated on github. Other repo is where I put this comment but its older. What exactly should we use? which one is supported?
