How i access the microphone in iOS id user deny the allowing in AIR application ?
I am using AIR 3.8.
When i run in debug mode on device it prompts that Flash Debug requires microphone access.
And how i get mic if user deny to access on prompt ?
You can't. That's the entire point of the prompt — to give the user a choice in whether your app can access something that could potentially invade their privacy or harm their system. There would be no point in the prompt if you could override it.
Adobe is real big on these kinds of security tasks (after Macromedia was relatively lax) and Apple is even stricter. If the user says no, it means no. There is absolutely no way around it.

I'm managing few iOS devices, so I want to create a app to add security feature like collecting the user information from the user like UserID to track which user is currently using the device .
Desired output:
So I want to trigger my app as soon as a user unlock the device and without giving the details the user should not able to access the home screen of the Device.
Is it possible to do it with any framework in iOS without Jailbreak ?
No its not possible. iOS does not allows application to manage device with it self. Application should work in the pre given area which is called Sandbox. So its not possible to handle the entire device and you can not check it that who is using the device.
This is not possible, you should look to Mobile Device Management solutions and rather go that route. You could also look at apple's business solutions.
My app has device administration power. When I tried to update the current password in android 7, This "java.lang.SecurityException: Admin cannot change current password" exception is coming. It's working in android 6. Please tell me How can I reset my password in nougat.
Looks like Google has changed the ability of device admin apps. I don't fully understand why. I know it could be used by hackers, but that's why screen lock is a separate permissions set you have to enable.
We’ve reduced the power of device admin applications so they can no longer change your lockscreen if you have a lockscreen set, and device admin will no longer be notified of impending disable via onDisableRequested().These were tactics used by some ransomware to gain control of a
device.

I am writing an app that records an audio file from the user. I noticed that when other apps that do something similar are installed, a window is displayed, warning the user that the app wants to access the microphone, and the user has to explicit give permission to the app to do so.
Does Qt have any API that tells iOS about the intention of the app to access certain devices, which would cause that warning window to be displayed?
Thanks!
You don't have to handle it manually. iOS will automatically ask for permission if the user didn't accept it before.
The very first time your app will need microphone, an alert will be displayed. If the user allows it, he will never see the alert again. If he refuses, he will have to turn it ON manually in iOS settings. Nevertheless, there's maybe a way to handle a previous refusing in-app.
I'm trying out this code: http://github.com/akpw/AssetLibraryPhotosViewer to access photos on my iPhone.
However when I run the application, I get an alert that says the application is trying to access my photos - and then I can allow this or decline.
Can I disable this when using the AssetLibrary, or does this message always appear?
If I can't turn this off, and I press "Don't Allow", can I still make the app access my photos?
Following on from answer above. This will appear once. If you allow access then it will not show again and you will have access to the photo's. If you disallow it then you will not be allowed to access this and the alert dialog will not appear again.
This permission can be changed at any time by the user in the settings app (Under Location and Privacy, or a variation of that.) This has been around since iOS 6 I believe.
You are never able to programtically state that access has been granted, the system handles the permissions which are shown to the user.
This is a security feature of the OS that cannot be disabled. If a user does not give your app permission to access the photo library your app will not be able to access any photos. Given this ability your app should be able to handle the situation gracefully from a UI/UX perspective.

I am developing a business app for use on an iPad/iPod Touch. I am wondering if there is a way to restrict usage on the device to my app only. In other words, we don't want employees installing other apps such as games and playing around with the devices.
Yes, that's possible.
Check out the iOS Configuration Profile Programming Guide.
Edit: See the section about restrictions, it will allow you to do exactly what you need. Note however that you'll need to have access to those devices, ideally the devices should be company property. And you need to distribute your app via Enterprise Distribution.
Edit 2: Since iOS6, this feature is available through the normal settings app. It is called "Guided Access" and is part of the Accessibility settings. It will let you disable the home button (cancel guided access by triple-clicking the home button and enter the preset code) and it will even let you define areas within apps which should be disabled.
I don't think so, unless their device is jailbroken.
If they're logged into an Exchange server you could remote-wipe their phone if they install anything.
Do you provide the devices? Or they bring their own?
If you provide the devices that would mean you can use your Apple-id. If an employee would try to download any other app he would need the password of your Apple-id. So thats a simple way to prevent that.
Im am not sure if there is a total "lock" of such type.
