Is it possible to disable volume buttons in iOS apps?

I am developing a Game and I would like to disable the volume buttons when I am playing (because the user has to use the accelerometer and could accidentally press it). Is it possible at all?

Edit:

This Q&A explains how to set up a volume listener.

This Q&A explains how to hide volume overlays.

Old answer: This has not been possible in the past, because the practice has been explicitly disallowed by the app store review guidelines which no longer apply:

Apps that alter the functions of standard switches, such as the Volume Up/Down and Ring/Silent switches, will be rejected
