iOS Prevent user from locking/sleeping iPhone?

[Matt342]

Hi!

Is there any way I can prevent the user from locking (sleeping) an iPhone (so when the user presses the top button nothing happens)?

Thanks!!

I suspect that this is impossible using the SDK. At least, I hope it is.
Possibly a silly question, but why would you want to prevent your users from switching off their own phones while running your app? I don't think I'd be happy using an app that did something like that. And I suspect that it wouldn't pass Apple's vetting procedures, either.

Yeah, I have to agree... I would consider this a security violation... I would want Apple to make this impossible in the SDK and/or vet out apps that try to do this.
