Programmatically lock and unlock iPhone screen
(8 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I've seen an app that activates the lock-screen after showing a local notification (so the user has to enter the passcode).
... and now I wonder how they did this, since I need this kind of functionality for one of my projects. It might even pass Apple's review process because it does make sense for this app... (and, yes, I'm aware that Apple might reject it, but I'd like to give it a shot).
How would I do this???

I don't believe it is possible as the framework that handles this is private.

iOS 8.1 does not offer API to do this. Most likely you have seen an App implementing its own lock screen. You will need to implement something similar.
You can find examples on GitHub, e.g. https://github.com/venmo/VENTouchLock

I have a very specific need to handle some cases if my iOS app gets uninstalled. But I cannot find any method so far that gets called in case the app gets uninstalled. I have searched around with similar questions but cannot find anything usefull. Can anyone suggest something please.
No, its not possible.
But you can check if the application has re-installed by storing a key in iCloud using keychain.

Is it possible to answer a call programmatically in iOS? [duplicate]

Is it possible to programmatically answer a call in iPhone? I have already googled about this and found that iOS SDK does not support such feature. But I found an answering machine app in Appstore.

Please help me out.
No this is not possible, the iOS SDK does not allow any interaction with the phone.app.
Also the app you have found is a prank app, one that you start if you receive a call and the play back one the messages from the app.
No, that is not possible. The CoreTelephony framework lets your application receive notifications if there is any change in the call state, but there is no way to answer it.
The app that you mentioned does not say anything about answering a call, from what I can see.
I would say it depends. If you want to make a app and publish it in app store, its not possible. However if you want don't want to publish on app store and willing to use private api, then its possible. Refer this answer.

IOS guided access - can app know it is in guided access mode? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Detect or react to Guided Access?
(3 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am developing an IOS app for a class room environment - conducting a test. I have a requirement that the app should not come out during the test. Guided access is a perfect solution for me, since I can force users (students) to turn the device to guided access mode.
What I want is like this: Only after the device is set into guided access mode, the app will proceed from a particular screen. Is it possible for the app to know (programmatically) whether the device is in guided access mode at any point in time? Any documentation available on this?
Thanks in advance for your help
I found a feasible solution. IOS 6 (onwards) has a method: UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled. Returns a Boolean value indicating whether Guided Access is enabled.
It is in Apple's UIKit Reference Manual

I want to implement "Report a problem" button in my app, which sends me the logs of the user's app as a text file (by email), so I can see what is the problem.
Is there any way to do so?
Thanks in advance!
I have used QuincyKit to capture and retrieve crash logs from customers. It takes a bit of time, but once you get it set up, it works very well.
Crashlytics is definitely the way to go with crash logs. It is by far the easiest to implement and provides excellent information for solving problems as well as allows remote logging. It also means you will get the crash logs even without your users emailing them to you.
I'd still include a report a problem button that simply allows the user to email you if they have a problem specifically, but generally they won't for crashes.

I have learnt that apple is going to remove the access of udid from the system in iOS5.For All of us who rely so much on this,what would be the solution?Even ads and analytics would seize to work.Would there be a work around for that?Thanks for any answer
Apple is NOT removing access to UDID, it's just deprecating it.
So, Apple doesn't want you to use it anymore, but they will not forbid it yet, they just strongly recommend using a new feature of iOS 5 that shouldn't be discussed here while under NDA. Compiler will give you a warning if you access udid, but it's still there and it works, so stop spreading panic.
