To add a setting to stop an iPhone from going to sleep, you can leverage the new controls introduced in iOS 18. Specifically, you can create a custom control that users can add to their Control Center, lock screen, or even assign to the action button on their iPhone 15 Pro. This control can be configured to manage the sleep settings of the device.

For a detailed guide on how to build such a control, you can refer to the session Extend your app’s controls across the system at the 02:13 timestamp. This session covers how to create and configure controls that can be added to various system spaces, providing quick access to key actions.
