Howto programmatically turn on/off WiFi and Bluetooth?

[ae6rt]

Is there a programmatic way to turn on and off the WiFi and Bluetooth networks on the iPhone? I'm looking for the same functionality that Settings/[General/Bluetooth],WiFi/OnOff provides.

Thanks.

There isn't a way using the APIs provided by the SDK. It's trivial to do if you use private frameworks, but if you use private frameworks, you will be in violation of Apple's SDK license agreement.

I've already written such an app for my own purposes (toggling Bluetooth on and off), but for obvious reasons I can't distribute it. Details can be found here if you are interested:

Thanks. That's what I suspected. Too bad. Hopefully this will be part of the public API one day.
