I want to display emergency contact on lock screen of iPhone.
I've found one link to an app Launch emergency App/Do emergency call without screen-unlocking the iPhone but it is saying that apple will not approve this,
I saw some other applications on the AppStore:
https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id317958642?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ice-in-case-of-emergency/id380234187?mt=8
Can any body tell me how to do this?
Easy, the ones in the app store create an image with the emergency numbers on them.
Then the user can set this image as there lockscreen. I've create an app like this.
But there is no way to make a swipe/click call the number from the lock screen.
It is impossible to set the Lock Screen wallpaper programmatically without jailbreak.
However, you can change the lock screen appearance by playing a sound track with customized album cover, which is the emergency image.
See MPNowPlayingInfoCenter for more information.
Note that this approach may burn a lot of battery, and user cannot enjoy other music while using your app.
Use " Emergency info screen" iPhone app. It's awesome and simple to use.
I've been using the emergency info screen app and its simple and flexible to my needs.

With iOS 8 and later you can use the Health.app to define your medical ID and store emergency contact details with it. Then, from the Health.app, you can tell iOS to display this information from the emergency lock screen.

I wonder if it's possible to create a GUI for the iPhone home screen when an app is used?
Since I guess the answer is no (it was in the past, havn't found anything new about iOS 7): if I have an audio player, would it be possible to kind of 'route' it to the homescreen like the Podcasts app does it? I have looked for answers but only came across jailbroken solutions so far.
Is there anything one can do there? Thanks in advance.
No, the latest SDK (iOS 7.0) does not allow this, as in add custom GUI element to the lock screen. You can let the media player controls interact with your app if you are playing audio in the background.
And use the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter to display track, artist name and cover art on the lockscreen.
Apple doesn't allow any app to configure the Lock Screen in any way. You could have a music app which might display track details using the : MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.
Other than that all you can display is Notifications.
This isn't available on any version of iOS.
How can i place my application icon on the lock screen of the iphone programmatically(something like the default camera button next to slide lock). Is it possible ? If so can any one guide me on this ??
EDITED
Hi all.. thanks for replies.. after seeing your replies i understand that this is not possible and its possible in jailbroken devices.. or is it possible to invoke my application through some gesture on lock screen ???
I dont think it is possible. I understand you want to implement something like android interface, but apple has its UI standards and has restricted access to that.
For Jail broken Device:
I'm not sure whether it work or not.
Please check these links:

Note : Possibly it is for Jailbroken devices. Also I didn't checked these video's because it's restricted in our company :(
This is not possible as Apple does not allow that.
I am trying to make an app similar to the way you can set a password upon unlocking an iphone. I have access to face-recognition tech, and I want to make it so that when you slide to unlock you don't have immediate access to the homescreen. Instead, you"re asked to take a picture of your face, and if it matches then the homescreen unlocks. I'm aware that any app that changes the slide to unlock or the homescreen features will be rejected, but this one will just present another layer after the slide to unlock. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks a lot!
The only way to do that is by developing a jailbreak tweak (and, ofc, you need to jailbreak your device).
There's already a tweak similar to what you are trying to do: RecognizeMe You should check it out.
the app I'm working on supports iOS multi-task feature by default, and I want to stick with this.
Upon app launch, a splash movie clip is played (code is in AppDelegate), after user hits the home button, and re-launches the app, I want to the same splash movie be played before showing the last view where use was.
I know by switching off the multi-task support, I can achieve this, but in the meanwhile, I'm losing the multi-task support feature, and I need to write code to save/resume user states. So, is there any workaround for this? thanks!
You could try the app delegate's applicationDidBecomeActive: method but quite frankly I'd consider this to be user hostile behaviour. Who wants to see a movie every time they switch between apps? The point of multitasking on the iPhone is to quickly change between apps and this violates that.
I want to build an alarm application for iphone. I want to ignore iphone device state and volume buttons state. I want to play sound anyhow in full volume and also want that user cant modify volume using iphone hardware buttons while sound is played. Does anybody know how to implement it? Please post the code here.......
Thankx in Advance.......
This is not possible (without jailbreaking).
You cannot force the iPhone to change its volume or intercept the hardware buttons. Also you cannot "ignore device state", as you cannot run background apps. So if your app is not running you can't execute any code
