I want to make an application which creates sound, music, or system sound when an iPhone is in silent mode. Is it possible to play any type of sound whether music or system tones when it is silent mode?

Swift - Call this function before playing your audio/video to force playback when the phone is on silent. This also silences other audio that is currently playing.
You can change .duckOthers to .mixWithOthers if you don't want to silence other audio.
func setupAudio() {
let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
_ = try? audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, with: .duckOthers)
_ = try? audioSession.setActive(true)
}
