Is there a way to programmatically set the device my app is running on to silent mode? The silence must encompass the entire device, not just my application.
No. As it's a physical hardware switch, there's no software method for muting the entire device.
No reason to fight the framework, just let the user mute the device if he/she pleases.

Hi everyone here it's my problem, I have an simple app on my Apple Watch and iPhone. All my goal is using iPhone minimum on the App. Instead of iPhone App I want to use this App mostly from the watch. So I have an UI screen consisting with 2 buttons (Scan and Connect) on the watch. And these buttons should control the iPhone's Bluetooth. I don't want to use Watch Bluetooth. Considering all, is it posibble to trigger the iPhone Bluetooth in background from Watch and connect iPhone to a BLE device.
I think I fix this problem with your help guys;
Hi again, I believe I can fix this problem with the background transfers. Let me first explain the problem better when I want to use iPhone App local database and also want to use iPhone's Bluetooth from the Watch App I had trouble. And then I noticed sending messages from Watch to iOS wakes up iOS in the background (Source for more detail). In this way I'll have using iPhone app only in background and even scan BLE devices from the iPhone in bg and send them to the Watch App (WC Sessions).

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)
Is there any way to bring iPhone application into the foreground by pressing a button in the Apple watch
any way other than handoffs!
No, it is not currently possible. WatchConnectivity just serves to exchange data between the two devices, not for changing their statuses.
Of course you may activate a local notification from the watch on the iPhone upon clicking which the coupled application goes to the foreground, but it shall still require an action by the user on the iPhone.
I want to develop an iOS app which on button tapped the phone state from sound mode to silent/vibrate mode . how to do it??
There is no official/legal/acceptable by Apple way to accomplish what you want. However, if you are still interested you should check private libraries for the app for jailbroken devices.
I've developed Android app which has a background service in the sleep mode. This service works with accelerometer data and can launch the app from the sleep mode over the lock screen.
Is it possible to make the same on iOS?
I mean:
Create a service which can work in background with accelerometer data.
Service can launch the app when the phone is in the sleep mode over lock screen. (without unlocking)
If I'm not mistaken it must be possible on iOS7, isn't it?
Thanks!
Yes – Apple publicly stated background processing at WWDC keynote and it can be done to a degree on iOS6
No – Apple will 'probably' never allow an app to be opened without the user instigating it and certainly not over the lock screen.
You could use Push / Local Notifications which do appear on the lock screen to try and entice a user at a specific time to launch the app but no guarantees.
