Is it possible from my app to run in background, turn on/off other apps, control the iOS device without jailbreaking it? I understand that this app will not pass Apple's review/approval, but I am not planning it, instead, I just need to distribute it to clearly defined list of devices. I just prefer not to require to jailbreak device.. Is it possible?

  • can you elaborate on what you mean by "control the iOS device"? which aspects do you want to control exactly? there are private APIs (that do not require jail breaking) for some of these, and for other aspects, you will need a jailbroken phone. – Nate Aug 27 '12 at 11:24
