How to prevent screen lock on my application with swift on iOS

How can I prevent screen lock only when using Navigation?

Waze has the option to do that, how can I do this in my App?

Solution

  • Use this:

    Objective-C:

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES];

    Swift (legacy):

    UIApplication.sharedApplication().idleTimerDisabled = true

    Swift 3 and above:

    UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = true

    Make sure to import UIKit.
