Is there a way to change the device volume programmatically? maybe using audio session?
I'm pretty sure that it is not possible to control the actual device volume (as this would also be a bit obtrusive) Controlling some media you're playing is another thing. You could however look into MPVolumeView: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MPVolumeView_Class/index.html for displaying a view for setting the volume.
