Answer 1

If you want your app to be in app store , then there is no apple approved method to actually mute whole iPhone.There are certain libraries but they are not approved.

Apple's documentation on Audio Session

According to the documentation you can only ask the user to have the phone silenced physically and you can respond to certain audio changes such as other sounds,phone calls, email sounds but you cannot mute programmatically.

Also See this Documentation on Programming in iPhone See the part 3.3 for Audio.(Events that can be accessed and performed in iOS).

Answer 2

You can use AVFoundation framework to record a video without the sound, check at this :
