How to detect the ios device is in silent mode

Probably, there is no such API. I think, Apple thinks that it is something personal and do not allow apps to detect it.

It is posisble to think about a more or less ugly workaround. For example, play (AudioServicesPlaySystemSoundWithCompletion) a sound with a predefined duration and if the finished callback is called in the expected time, so the device is not in the silent mode.

>> I don't want to play that sound when device is in silent/mute mode.

That is the default behavior. See:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avaudiosessioncategorysoloambient

Note that there are other categories that might be appropriate if your app does something more complicated with sound.
