I am building an application for accessory on iPhone that requires to silent the iPhone. Now I know from the app itself silenting the phone is not possible as explained here and here or it is possible with private apis as explain here.
Now I also read Apple bluetooth accessory guidelines for volume control and it has a profile known as Audio/Video Remote Control Profile which accessory can use to control the volume of the device. Also explained in Section 2.2.5.5 Volume Handling
But my question is can this profile be used to silent the device?
