Hey Thanks!

It's just like Apple to be a corporate nanny.

I've done some Android Platform Development, but not yet any real Android App Development. I'll do that after I ship the iOS App I'm working on.



My iPhone doesn't make a peep in silent mode using either the builtin camera app or Camera+.


I haven't actually tried this for quite a long time. Perhaps Apple added a silent mode so as to compete with Android.

There's a lot of stuff that at one time would only work on jailbroken devices, only for Apple to "add support" for it as a result of some App becoming a huge hit at the Cydia App store.

At first one could not even take still photos programmatically, the user had to use Apple's own App for that. But Snapture - if I remember correctly - was able to do it on jailbroken devices, so Apple added the public API so that Snapture would be sold on the App Store, rather than through Cydia.

Every single iPhone I had (and I had 3G, 4, 4S, 5, 5S) was able to take photo without sound if it was switched to silent. Probably differs by the region, i.e. those shipped to Japan make camera sound no matter what, others don't.


Is there a way to silence the shutter sound from code?

It doesn't have to be Objective-C and Cocoa Touch. I'd be completely cool with C and system calls.
