Detect Silent mode in iOS5?

Question

I have used this method in the past to detect if the silent switch is enabled:

- (BOOL)silenced {
    #if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
    // return NO in simulat         


        

Answer 1

As mentioned in the iOS Developer Library, the property kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRoute is deprecated. Instead, Use the kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRouteDescription

We won't be able to detect the silent switch state anymore since iOS 5...
