is it possible to set alarm in iPhone’s default Alarm Clock from other application ?

  • I'm looking for a way to set up a new alarm in the actual IOS Alarm Clock application from a new (self-created) app.
  • Basically, the app I'm creating would programmatically add a new alarm to the Default alarm Clock app, which would then simply behave as it normally does -- making the built-in alarm clock ring when the time arrives.

Thanks for reply.
But please give me proper reason if u know

As far as I know the rationale for this has never been publicly documented. However, the iOS sandbox does not, in general, allow app A to make changes that affect app B or the system as a whole.

No.

The story here is quite simple: the features implemented in the Clock app (a set of clocks to display, a set of alarms, the stopwatch and the timer) have no API whatsoever.

Siri can set clock alarm on IOS 10.3 version.

But i can not find out how it is done programmatically.


How is it implemented for Siri?

Via private API that only Apple can employ (and know), vs. public API that developers are allowed to use (and know).
