iOS - setting the lock screen image

Question

I'm planning to use the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter API to set an image on the lock screen.

Can I do this without actually playing any audio? It's only the lock screen image that I want to change.

If I can do it technically do you think Apple will let it into the app store?

You are not supposed to change the lock screen image programmatically unless you are not planning to release it as an internal app.

No. Even if you manage to do it, your app will not be accepted by Apple.

But looks like [this](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fancy-wallpapers-lock-screen/id789446892?mt=8) app has the ability to change background image while still be on App store? – Andrew.Wolphoe Jan 15 '18 at 13:01
