Open Siri using private API's in iOS 8

Question

I want to make an app that won't be released on the App Store. I want this app to open siri through private API's, basically inject a home button press and hold into the events queue. I have tried using GSEvent ( GSSendEvent - Inject Touch Event iOS ), but it no longer works(it silently fails) after iOS 7. I believe it is possible through SBUIController but I can't figure how to use SBUIController in iOS 8. To be clear, I want to do this on a non-jailbroken phone.

How can I go about doing this in iOS 8?

Thanks

You should check out the runtime headers of all the private/public apis here .

I found a method hidden in accessibility, which could possibly work in your case. Have a look at it here: http://git.io/frK6Sw . The method is named -(void)openSiri , which suggest that it might open Siri, I haven't tried though.
