iPhone Proximity Sensor

Question

Can the iPhone SDK take advantage of the iPhone\'s proximity sensors? If so, why hasn\'t anyone taken advantage of them? I could picture a few decent uses.

For examp

Answer 1

Evidently the proximity sensor will never turn on if the status bar is in landscape orientation. i.e, if you call:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft;

You will no longer get the proximity:ON notifications.

This definitely happens on OS 3.0, I can't test it on a 2.X device since I don't have one with a proximity sensor.

This seems like a bug.
