Apple Testing LinkedIn Integration With iOS 7?

According to code references found in iOS 7, Apple could be planning deep LinkedIn integration within iOS.

However, there are still some code fragments missing in order for the feature to become active.

Once users are logged in, they can post content such as Web links directly to LinkedIn via a share-sheet, similar to the current Twitter and Facebook share-sheets.
