Can an iOS app answer a phone call?

Question

I'm actually re-asking this question. I thought after 3 years there might have been a change in the public API after the introduction of iOS 7. My guess is 'no' but I'm not a iOS dev.

Answer 1

Your guess is correct, you still cant

Answer 2

This sounds like something Apple will not want developers to start messing with, I do believe that anything to do with answering phone calls are part of private APIs which if used will be rejected by Apple instantly and apps that mimic Apps bundled with the iPhone will be rejected.

I believe that any app that does this would be rejected under one of the two below reasons from the Apple App Store review

2.5 - Apps that use non-public APIs will be rejected

10.2 - Apps that look similar to Apps bundled on the iPhone, including the App Store, iTunes Store, and iBookstore, will be rejected

Sorry :-(

Answer 3

No, its not possible. Apple forbitts it beacause of security reasons.
