iphone - "Do Not Disturb" feature in iOS 6 How to implement?

Question

I want to implement the feature "DO Not Disturb" in iOS 6.

First question : Is there any framework or api apple exposed to control them through the code?

After lot of googling i found an application on the app store "Call Bliss" that provides this functionality and complete control over the calls, sms and mms. Can anybody explain how this application works? or any other work around to learn and implement this feature in iOS?

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

From reading the description of Call Bliss, it actually sounds quite simple in how it works.

1) Do Not Disturb must be enabled at all times. Not scheduled, not off, but on at all times.

2) It requires you to set the contacts group for exceptions to Do Not Disturb to "Bliss Exceptions". This implies that the application requires access to your address book.

From there, it's probably wise to assume that it manages the contacts in the "Bliss Exceptions" contact group based on whatever parameters you set in the application. It adds and removes people in that group based said parameters.

So to answer your question, no, there is no framework to do this. The way they're doing it is likely the only way to do it currently with no public API for managing do not disturb status.
