I want to do some 3D mapping (photogrammetry) with my new xstar premium, is this possible? I've seen some youtube videos but still unsure whether they are current as of the state of the drone today. Was the SDK ever released? If not, why?
 
Yes you can do it. There is no 3rd party Apps to help you out but it can be done. I and several others have made maps and they come out pretty good..
Read over this post and post #11 Sundog775 wrote up how it is done. Just follow his PDF tutorial and you are good to go.
Let's compile all of our knowledge into one place of how to create orthomosaic maps with an XSP

The SDK was never released because of this reason so they say.

"The SDK for the X-Star became problematic. The expectation was the firmware update could enable the SDK functionality required to support 3rd party apps but once designs where completed there where holes that are not easily closed.

It was decided to focus on making the new aircraft include a more advanced SDK model and all efforts where refocused
