Disable native MPVolumeView iOS route menu

Question

I use MPVolumeView to allow the user to control his preferred audio route when using my application.

The view is represented by this code:

self.volumeView = [[MPVolumeView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame]; self.volumeView.showsVolumeSlider = NO; [self.view addSubview:self.volumeView]; 

When the user deletes the audio route button, a menu appears with the available options.

Problem: The screen displaying the volume view may need to be hidden due to various events being processed by my application, and I would like to hide the audio route menu at the same time (if it is currently presented)

My question is: Does anyone know if it is possible to manually disable the MPVolumeView route selection menu without pressing the cancel button?

Thanks!

on iOS 8, you can use below code that uses a private API

  NSArray *windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]; for (UIWindow *window in windows) { if ([NSStringFromClass([window class]) isEqualToString:@"_MPAVRoutingSheetSecureWindow"]) { UIView *view = [window.subviews firstObject]; if ([NSStringFromClass([view class]) isEqualToString:@"MPAVRoutingSheet"]) { [view performSelector:@selector(dismiss)]; } } }
