You can use

AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);

Note that you need to add the AudioToolbox framework and import the following header file:

#import <AudioToolbox/AudioServices.h>

do you need to put anything else? i tried this, and got several build errors. and can you do this multiple times? – Sam Jarman Jan 17 '10 at 08:47
@Sam: You need to `#import` the appropriate headers and link to the relevant frameworks. – kennytm Jan 17 '10 at 08:49

This isn't working for me. Do I have to add a framework? – Jon Jul 22 '11 at 03:20
@Jon Add the AudioToolbox framework – Henrik P. Hessel Jul 22 '11 at 06:37
Thanks, ill do that, is it easy to add a sound as well along with the vibrate? – Jon Jul 22 '11 at 08:46
This only works if "Settings > Sounds > Vibrate on Ring" is ON (if silencer is switched off) and "Settings > Sounds > Vibrate on Silent" is ON (if silencer is switched on). Here is a (not perfect) workaround: http://stackoverflow.com/a/22843899/1884907 – jakob.j Jul 12 '15 at 13:14
