How to programmatically silence the ringer or change the ringer tone on iOS5

Question

Is there a way to reduce the volume of the ringer or change the ringer tone on iOS5?

I checked out the Celestial framework, but can\'t instantiate AVSystemControlle

Answer 1

Yes. Use AVSystemController. You don't instantiate it. It's a singleton.

[[AVSystemController sharedAVSystemController] setVolumeTo:10.0 forCategory:@"Ringtone"];

Answer 2

This might be what you are looking for: Override ringer volume in iPhone apps

Basically, you set the volume using AVAudioPlayer on the -(void)viewDidLoad method of the view you are displaying on
