I'm working with Phonegap and I'm trying to disable the auto-lock, but allow in the meantime the phone to turn off the screen. So the phone is not locked, but the screen appears off. This is in order to save battery and allow my application to continue its work.
Can this be achieved? Thanks.
Fairly certain that is not possible, even with the official Apple SDK.

I'm building an ios app with an alarm feature. I would like to show a view when phone is locked. I want to look exactly like on iOS alarm. If you're an iPhone user try to alarm and locked your phone you will get what i'm talking about. Is it possible? If possible how?
Thanks in advance.
iOS doesn't provide apps that kind of access to the lock screen (or any screen not in your app), so it's impossible to make it exactly like the iOS native alarm. The closest you can get is sending notifications to simulate an alarm, which are visible on the lock screen
I was thinking about changing iPhone background using app. Is there some code in Swift to change iPhone background?
I don´t mean change background of app. I mean change background totally of the iPhone.
There is no way to currently access the device's Wallpaper as of now.
Essentially Apple doesn't allow it, though jailbroken devices can access this functionality.
You also aren't allowed to set or change the wallpaper of the entire phone in third party apps. The user has to do that manually through the settings or photos app. You can add instructions as to how the user can do that in your app.
Can we programmatically lock and unlock Screen of the iPhone?
Heard of GSEventLockDevice() (private API) from GraphicsServices.framework but is not working in higher iOS versions.
Please checkout the following video:

Don't know how the iPhone screen is getting locked programatically in Cellcontrol !
Any ideas are welcomed !
We can't lock the screen programmatically without any private API but your requirement can achieve by sending keyboard events from paired bluetooth hardware devices.
Please check this link Force lock screen
There is no documentation given by Apple to do it.
But there are some private API's which can be possible to do it but it is not accepted by Apple when you submit your app to AppStore.
So be specific on it whether you are going to submit in AppStore or Private purpose.
But you can keep your device unlock from auto lock by using the below line.
[UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = YES;
Want to put the icon for our iOS app on the iOS Notifications Screen that can be accessed when a user has not entered their passcode, so that the user can launch the app when the phone is locked without needing to input their passcode. The goal is for a very fast launch with minimum time from a locked iphone. We don't need to actually send the user a notification. Would also be great for this to work on Android, but iOS is currently more important for this feature.
What is the best way to do this using Cordova? Is there an existing plugin for this purpose?
Thanks
It is not possible to launch an iOS app without unlocking the phone/device. The notifications screen is only available once the iOS device is unlocked.
(thanks to dan)

Simple answer NO there is no way of detecting shake in background mode sorry.
Unfortunately this isn't possible in iOS 7 are lower.
