How can my app know if a text message is sent to a device that has my app installed? Is there a user notification or a remote notification that notifies when a text message or iMessage arrives on the device? i’m willing to try anything.

Hello there , i am new to apple developing and I was wondering if there’s a native api or some way to access your iMessage chat history and maybe get it in Jason or xml format?

We have been having problems with our app clip not working when sharing through iMessage. The app and app clip are published and work correctly when scanning a QR code that points to the URL: https://www.coderus.com/locations?loc=1 however if this same URL is shared through the iMessage app, a link to the website displays and not the app clip card. We have confirmed that: AASA file is available and has the type application/json Both devices are above iOS 14 Both devices are in each other's contacts The website has the meta tag for the smart app clip banner The website has a meta tag for the og:image Launch experiences have been configured on AppStoreConnect - as said before, the QR codes work correctly The link leads to a 404 page, I wasn't sure if there needs to be an actual page that the link points to as app clips seem to work fine without when scanning the QR code through the camera app.

Does apple expose any apis to manipulate a Memoji programatically? I find Apple's way of creating memojis extremely unpleasant to use - and would like to create an alternative. So I'd essentially be looking at some way of listing the parameters available (eye colour, hair style etc) - listing the set of choices for each parameter, and producing a Memoji from a set of parameters. (And for extra credit, taking a picture of said memoji, or reading an existing emoji as a set of parameters). Thanks, Darren

Does anybody knows how to show or enable message button in CallKit screen when user receives incoming call? I tried to search multiple sources but I couldn't find any information about this topic. It never appears in my CallKit app. I can only see Remind Me button.

I'm developing iOS message extension to filter the unwanted message. The plugin needs a help from server to filter the message. However, the iOS returned the error NSURLErrorDomain while requesting the server. Based on the official document, I defined the key/value pair in Info.plist of Message Extension. ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL has value: https://mydomain.io/api/v1/sms The code that I test the request as follows: let url = URL(string: "https://mydomain.io/api/v1/sms")! var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") request.setValue("you-value-goes-here", forHTTPHeaderField: "X-API-KEY") let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, _, error in if let data = data { print(data) } else if let error = error { print("Http failed: \(error)") } } task.resume() From the stack trace, as far as I known, there is a problem with dns resolution. Why does this happened and how to fix this case? [0] (null) "_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey" : Int32(-72000) [1] (null) "NSUnderlyingError" : domain: "kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork" - code: 18446744073709550613 [2] (null) "_NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey" : "LocalDataTask <B496A974-7009-4FCE-BF45-FEC07BA1E8DF>.<1>" [3] (null) "_NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey" : 1 element [4] (null) "NSLocalizedDescription" : "A server with the specified hostname could not be found." Thanks

I need to send an OTP authorization code to verify a user's phone number. For testing, I've been using an e-mail sent to a phone number via AT&T's gateway but I don't want this app to be limited to AT&T customers only so I'm looking for a better solution. It occurred to me that perhaps I could use iMessage for this instead, as long as the user has their phone number setup in their iMessage account. The question is, is there an e-mail address I could send to like I do with AT&T such as 5551234567 @ imessage.com? I do not want iMessage to open on the user's device. That would defeat the entire purpose. I am trying to figure out a way to send an e-mail to user's phone number that is already setup in iMessage on their device/account.

I am trying to create an iMessage extension but don't like to use the story board. Is there any way to just get a Content View swift UI file so that I can create the UI in text code. I am very new to swift UI.

Hi! I'm new to Swift and I'm trying to build a simple app with a feature that will allow a user to send an sms that automatically includes their location. I've got the sending of the message covered however I'm lost at how I can automatically put the user's current location in the message's body. Any kind of help would be much appreciated, thank you! Here is my code so far: import SwiftUI import CoreLocation import UIKit  struct MessageView: View {     @State private var isShowingMessages = false       var body: some View {         Button("Show Messages") {             self.isShowingMessages = true         }         .sheet(isPresented: self.$isShowingMessages) {          MessageComposeView(recipients: ["09389216875"], body: "Emergency, I am here with latitude: \(locationManager.location.coordinate.latitude); longitude: \(locationManager.location.coordinate.longitude) {messageSent in print("MessageComposeView with message sent? \(messageSent)") \\ I currently get an error in this chunk                 }     }     } class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {    var locationManager: CLLocationManager!   override func viewDidLoad() {         super.viewDidLoad()         locationManager = CLLocationManager()         locationManager.delegate = self         locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()     } func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {         if status != .authorizedWhenInUse {return}         locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest         locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()         let locValue: CLLocationCoordinate2D = manager.location!.coordinate         print("locations = \(locValue.latitude) \(locValue.longitude)")     } }

I'm trying to create a "hello world" a Message Filtering extension for iOS based on the following steps: Create a new project. Go to File -> Target -> Add Message Filter App Extension, enter a name MyMessageFiltering. Xcode generate the folder MyMessageFiltering contains MessageFilterExtension.swift In the MessageFilterExtension.swift, add one line below the handle function as follow: func handle(_ queryRequest: ILMessageFilterQueryRequest, context: ILMessageFilterExtensionContext, completion: @escaping (ILMessageFilterQueryResponse) -> Void) { NSLog("FILTEREXTENSION - handle") // add the log to see check the function handle Run the app Enable the app in message extension on iPhone by Settings -> Message -> Unknown & spam Start the console app and record the phone. Send a sms message to iPhone by an unknown number (which is not existing in iPhone contact). There is no log from the console app or XCode console What steps did I do wrong to test the sms extension filtering ?

I would like to perform certain actions when I receive messages from the Bank. There is an option in shortcuts to run the automation when receiving messages from certain contacts. The problem is that I can't store the bank in my contacts as they do not have a phone number or something. I want to achieve this goal in any possible way. What I have tried is to store - their contact - in my contacts so that I will be able to set up the automation. When I tried to store iPhone just shows me the prompt to create a contact with NO values whatsoever. SO it will just be an empty contact. Any ideas how on how I can achieve that?

I'm trying to make an app for iMessages and Facetime that allows users to upload custom Animojis based on 3d Files. Is this possible? I'm running into troubles and could really use some help from my fellow devs. Thanks, Ryan

I have an regular iOS app where I have added a new Sticker Pack Extension. It's runs fine in Simulator and Phone. Then I submitted it to TestFlight for beta testing. When installing from testflight, the iOS app installs fine along with the Sticker Pack in iMessage. However, when submitting for Appstore, appstoreconnect shows the host iOS app and the Sticker Pack extension in the build. But, after having the app Ready for Sale in the Appstore, when I install the app from the appstore, the host iOS app installs fine but the Sticker Pack extension in iMessage is totally missing. Any idea what might be wrong? I am using Xcode 13 on MacOS Big Sur 11.6
