How to access iPhone general accessibility settings with OS 4.0

Question

I want to access the general settings of iPhone. I know that it was not possible with os 3.0 and there on .

But hope fully if apple has provided any API with os 4.0 or above to access the general settings like if I want to know whether device is in vibrate mode or Ringing mode as well as

If I want to know whether my iPhone is having high brightness and If I want to set lower

To access such kind of settings does apple provide ani API.

If yes then please provide me the link.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the latest version of iOS. There is a private API which allows you to do it, but I heard that a flashlight app was rejected because of the use of a private API.

I don't know what type of app you are creating, but you could modify the colours of your content to make the appearance of it less bright? Just a suggestion!

Hey Chris Grant , Thanks for immediate reply. Can you give me the name of Private API that was used by flashlight app ? – Acree

Take a look at this question - #4740761 Apparently he is using this API: [(id)[UIApplication sharedApplication] setBacklightLevel:1.0f]; Bear in mind that you won't be able to submit to the app store if you do use this though. – Tm
