I am trying to build an App that helps distracted drivers by

1. locking the iphone.

Is this possible ?

Thanks

Accepted Answer

1. You can prevent screen lock, but you cannot invoke it.

2. No. Calls are handled by iOS, and there is no application API available to developers.

by prevent screen lock, do you mean prevent auto lock or is it possible to disable the ability to lock ones phone entirely while in the app?

You can disable auto-lock with the API UIApplication.idleTimerDisabled. You cannot disable the ability to manually lock the device.
