I designed an application screen for incoming and outgoing calls, so now the issue is that I want to show my screens on while I get an incoming and outgoing call on the device so how can I do that.is that's possible so tell me how?
This is not possible.
You can not replace core features of iOS with your own app.
As MadProgrammer stated in his comment, CallKit allows you to use iOS call screen in your app. Not the other way around.
CallKit : Display the system-calling UI for your app's VoIP services, and coordinate your calling services with other apps and the system.
If you are using CallKit, its impossible so far to customize it or replace it.
You can do it, if your App has its own feature of Calling, say Many apps has WebRTC solutions or other VoIP Solutions.

I'm trying to build an App with video calling capabilities like Skype and I'm trying to figure out how to make it ring with the native call screen as Skype, Hangouts and several other big apps do.
Are those APIs public? If so what are they called/where can I find the documentation on them?
Thanks
Yes CallKit allows yoy to use native UI to provide Voip calling for your app. However you need to be aware that connection and calling itself must be implemented on your own.
I'm trying to get into a new project, by creating an iOS application. But before I start I would like to understand some points:
is it possible to let an application make a phone call? So what I mean is, assumed we have a phone number and would like to call it. Would it be possible to use an (my) application to call this number?
is it possible to let an application speak during a phone call? So after the application started the call, would it be possible that some predefined statements are said in the call?
is it possible that this application hears, registers and analyses what the other person on the phone line is saying? (Leaving apart the privacy issue, assuming that the other person is willing to do that).
Could you please help me? If my question aren't clear, please tell me, I will try to explain it in another way.
Many Thanks
F.P.
iOS is very restricted in terms of the system behaviors third party applications can influence.
To answer your question bluntly, a third party application could prompt the user to initiate a phone / FaceTime call. Once the call is initiated however, your app would enter a background state and relinquish control to the system. The app would not be able to contribute or read any data related to the system phone / FaceTime call.
iOS 10 introduces a VoIP extension, CallKit, which allows third party apps to use the built in calling UI with a custom protocol. You could implement your own protocol (and host servers for handling the exchange of information) and build an extension to make it feel like a system call. You'd be responsible for all aspects of the custom call protocol and thus reading voices, contributing audio, etc. would all be possible (and up to your implementation).
Outside of iOS 10, you would have to built your own VoIP system and interface entirely from scratch.

Is it possible to call a phone number programmatically in iOS and send different DTMF tones during the call?.
Basically I want an App to handle the IVR call. I don't know anything about iOS programming. I just want to know the feasibility so that I will put further effort.
Thanks
You cannot do this interactively within the bounds of the iOS SDK (ie, in an App Store app).
You can, however, build a tel URL. See the Apple documentation on phone links for more details if you think this will work for your needs.
1.is it feasible or possible to open/launch ios app and open a specific screen on a specific incoming call using core telephony.Something where i can register my app as observer of incoming call event.
2.if my app is already launched, is there any delegate or notification of core telephony so that i can handle it and open a specific screen.
3.can above requirement filled using notification, as i can think notification will no be able to fulfil this requirement as there may more than one apps having notification, then how ios will decide to open which ios app.
if it's not feasible then what would be alternative or creative idea close to achieve this(open an ios app specific view on incoming call/message/notification centre) behaviour.
thanks
It is not possible to achieve any of the above 3 points. According to HIG, you can not do it. Also apple has not published any of the API to do same. Its not possible with public APIs.
I want to develop application to show user video or image when someone is calling me. I know it is possible on android, but i don't know about ios platform. Is it possible to do such an application ?
Apps can only modify things within their own sandbox. The incoming call screen, is part of the phone app and therefore can't be modified. The only way to do this would be on a jailbroken iPhone, and it would be quite difficult.
