Answer 1

You can enter and exit guided access mode from within your app. However, to do so the device has to be supervised, and have an MDM profile installed that has the app's bundle ID in the list of applications that can request guided access mode (the key is autonomousSingleAppModePermittedAppIDs.

Once that is done, to enter guided access you do this:

UIAccessibility.requestGuidedAccessSession(true){
    success in
    print("Request guided access success \(success)")
}
