Sorry,  That functionality does not exist.  You may check directly with Apple but I don't believe there is any way to do this for any apps.

Mike: I use 8x8 for another business and the 8x8 mobile app for iOS includes an option to prevent the phone from locking when the 8x8 app is active and selected (up front). App does not have to be in use - just has to be on and fill the screen. Does not lock out during calls requiring password to modify call, hang up, etc. If 8x8 can include it so can RC. Make this happen immediately please.
