Greetings for the Day Everyone!!

I want iOS devices with iOS7 version to detect the lock. I did research a lot in it, but didn't find any solution for iOS7.

For Example,

Programmatically lock iPhone screen in iOS 7

Lock Unlock events iphone

I have implemented the same feature for iOS6 but it is not working for iOS7.

Checkout the working snipppet for iOS6

 // coming back in the foreground
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:UIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification object:nil queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note)
{
    // if user lock the screen 
    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState] == 1)
    {
          // coming back after unlocking screen..
    }
}];

I have gone through many sources and found there isn't any solution for this in iOS7. Therefor I post the individual question over here, let me know if any one knows how to detect lock event on iOS7 enabled device.

Any help will be appreciated!

Are you looking for an answer that works with private (ie jailbroken) or public APIs? – swilliams Nov 15 '13 at 05:08
no with public APIs only – Niru Mukund Shah Nov 15 '13 at 05:11

You could probably hack together a solution that involves `applicationProtectedDataWillBecomeUnavailable` and `applicationProtectedDataDidBecomeAvailable` (since that will fire if you have protected data when the screen locks) on the application delegate, but I don't know if Apple will frown on that. – swilliams Nov 15 '13 at 05:13
okay, let me try for it – Niru Mukund Shah Nov 15 '13 at 05:19
no it's not working, it doesn't get called rather – Niru Mukund Shah Nov 15 '13 at 05:34
