I am developing a iPhone app like " Eject device" on computer. which means, when I connect USB cable for connecting to computer, this application just disconnect that connection by a single Click. I was googled about this, and I got some idea about EAAccessoryManager . this EAAccessoryManager only for notification. when USB cable connects or disconnect it can notify to the user. But I need to disconnect connection programmatically . is there any API or Tutorial available for this ? Kindly help me please.

You should probably look at IOKit. I believe IOKit works with USB device both on iOS and OS X.
You may be interested to take a look at these link: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/USBBook/USBIntro/USBIntro.html
http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.php/IOKit.framework
Also, there is very good book on iOS/OS X kernel and I believe there is a whole chapter regarding IOKit:

You can find the private API for the iOS Frameworks in https://github.com/kennytm/iphone-private-frameworks, but I don't think that this capability is present. The reason I think this is because there is no reason to want to do this from the iPhone, and therefore no reason for Apple to include it in the API.
