My main guess is UART commands & access permissions It is a protocol reserved by iPhone OS and not applicable to Apps. Some UART commands also include settings such as volume and audio rerouting, so I guess this is safe.
We made a new accessory for iPad/iPhone, which should transmit commands to the iPad. We like to use UART (via an Apple protocol called Lingo). My research shows that I Only USB (30PIN connector) and custom protocol can be used.

< p>If there is no jailbreak, you will not be able to access UART on iPad/iPod/iPhone like ordinary developers. If you need to access serial port or USB, you need to join Apple’s MFi (“Made for iPhone”) program, you will Full access to all relevant information. Unfortunately, you have to convince Apple that you are running a serious business and have a large number of manufacturing plants (see also this thread).
