Subject: In Search of Swift Mentorship Hello Community, I'm Abdallah, a self-taught iOS developer with a solid understanding of the basics. However, I'm at a point in my learning where I need some real-world experience to truly refine my skills. I'm seeking an experienced Swift developer for personalized mentorship and guidance. I'm ready to invest my time, and I'm open to compensating for yours. I believe this will be a significant step for my growth as an IOS developer. If you're interested or can recommend someone, please let me know. I'm excited about this next phase of my journey and eager to contribute to actual projects. Best, Abdallah

This code sends a text message from the command line on run {targetBuddyPhone, targetMessage}   tell application "Messages"     set targetService to 1st service whose service type = SMS      set targetBuddy to buddy targetBuddyPhone of targetService     send targetMessage to targetBuddy   end tell end run  And this code sends an iMessage from the command line on run {targetBuddyPhone, targetMessage}   tell application "Messages"     set targetService to 1st service whose service type = iMessage     set targetBuddy to buddy targetBuddyPhone of targetService     send targetMessage to targetBuddy   end tell end run  I’m looking for a solution to combine this code into a single snippet that will try to send an iMessage if the recipient has iMessages, but if they do not, then the code will send a SMS message.

When trying to trigger Quick reply payload, Apple is returning 400 response without any info what is missing. I have followed the documentation given so cannot find what attribute is missing. Can anyone help share a working payload for: Quick reply Payload 2.Agent-To-User Typing Payload I was using "sourceId": "{{source-id}}", "destinationId": "{{urn-id}}", "v": 1, "type": "interactive", "id": "49384592-0742-481b-b072-a8b66e4336a1", "interactiveData": { "bid": "com.apple.messages.MSMessageExtensionBalloonPlugin:0000000000:com.apple.icloud.apps.messages.business.extension", "data": { "mspVersion": "1.0", "requestIdentifier": "aae65b3f-9e5d-4ac8-a99a-4708d841524f", "quick-reply": { "summaryText": " What can I help you with?", "items": [ { "identifier": "1", "title": "Watch our video" }, { "identifier": "2", "title": "Watch video" } ] } }, "receivedMessage": { "style": "large", "subtitle": "Farm fresh to you", "title": "Select Produce", "imageIdentifier": "101" }, "replyMessage": { "style": "small", "title": "this is title", "subtitle": "Subtitle to be displayed under title", "imageIdentifier": "2" } } }

I'm trying to authenticate with a OAuth2.0 service when my MessagesExtension app loads. I see that one of the parameters the service requires is a redirect_uri, which will pass back an authorization code to my application through the redirect callback. However, I'm unable to provide a redirect_uri that will invoke my application since MessagesExtension applications do not have an appDelegate. Is it just not possible to authenticate with services requiring a redirect_uri with a MessagesExtension application?

Hi, I want to manipulate the Messages App UI and render some information by Using other iOS Apps or AppExtensions. My queries are below mentioned: For messages received from unknown sender, I want to replace the person avatar with some logo. Screenshot1 attached for reference. I want to customise the unknown message sender mobile number with some text e.g. +91-xxxxxxx74 with some company name like Apple without intervening and registering with operators. Screenshot2 attached for reference. Last, After filtering with MessageFilterExtension when we open a message, just below the message I want to show some information like Unsafe or Suspicious. Screenshot3 attached for reference. If there is any other way to show the information to user that message received is not safe or suspicious.

There are so many top-level domains now and my app is using the top-level domain ".sh". Unfortunately, I cannot get iOS to link these URLs when my clients send texts to their users. myapp.sh/login <- this is not linked and is pretty much useless myapp.com/login <- this would work fine, but I do not use .com https://myapp.sh/login <- this URL is linked, but takes up precious SMS characters Is there a way to petition to have new top-level domains linked in Messages such as .app, .sh. or others?

Does anyone know if the check in feature of messages works for public beta? Im running dev beta 3, a friend has public beta 1 running of 17. She can send me a check in, but when I try to send her a check in, it says Check In is not available to send to this recipient. I have my location services on for messages, she did not, but does now, but I still cant send one to her

I updated my computer to 17.3, and since my m2 won't receive or send iMessages. I can't get it to connect to my phone, all of my information is the same, my settings allow for it. am I missing something? I am currently working with a new M2 I got during pre-release.

Hello, I'm planning on building an app that provides instructions on how to implement Automation for a shortcut that will look for specific message content in messages, and forward it to my app. I want to understand if this method isn't a breach of Apple's terms of use, considering that I intend to have this used in scale (e.g. ~50k app users). Some things to clarify: The content that will be searched in the Messages app will be reviewed and approved by the iPhone user. The iPhone user will be required to manually approve every automation action that occurs The iPhone user will have control to remove any forwarded messages that were approved by mistake or in any case of regret. The iPhone user will be well aware of the actions he makes, and approves in terms of the process and usage of the content by app. Thank you!

I am putting a stand-alone iMessage extension sticker pack together and can't seem to get my icons to display when I run on my physical device. I have followed every thread and ran the gamut on the different solutions. I am still lost with this one and need some help. I am attaching some screenshots of how they display on my physical devices. My code runs great and I do not get any build errors. to my knowledge (and I'm a newbie): All icon assets have been correctly sized and attributed to the correct targets Target memberships have been correctly attributed as well From the Info.plist I have deleted the CFBundleicons~ipad and Icon files (iOS 5) as per recommendations from previous solutions. (I tried running with and without these auto attributional add ons) deleted or not, still doesn't solve the issues. Thanks in advance, hopefully, it helps me and others in the future :) Ps. I didn't want to flood the post with too many screenshots, but if there is anything you need to see to help me solve this one, let me know and I'll try to follow up.

Touchgram provides interactive messages as an iMessage App extension, adding gesture recognition and logic on top of SpriteKit. When you play a message, either composing it or when received, the extension goes into expanded sheet mode which is mostly filled with an SKView. I’ve just installed the iOS 17 beta. Running the current (1.3.3) version of the app inside Messages, touches are not being captured inside SpriteKit. Instead, vertical touches are interpreted as attempts to drag the sheet from expanded down to compact mode. Horizontal touches still work. This breaks the app utterly. At the very least, I need a fix and to ship a new version by the time 17.0 goes live. Alternatively, this may be a beta bug in Messages. To replicate: Launch the extension inside Messages Tap Favorites (star) Choose the “Foot tickle lots with hearts” Press the Play (triangle) button Move your finger rapidly back and forth - you should see hearts being drawn following your path - horizontally and vertically, any angle. On iOS17, vertical movement in step 5 fails, instead shrinking the sheet.

Hi according to the documentation we can have Message extensions in Mac Catalyst 14+, and that the MSStickerBrowserView is supported from Mac Catalyst 13.1+. But it doesn't seem possible to actually build an extension app, or Sticker extension, embedded in a Mac Catalyst app and have it appear in macOS messages. Error: iMessage Applications are not available when building for Mac Catalyst. and error: iMessage / Sticker Pack extensions are not available when building for Mac Catalyst. With the announcement for macOS Sonoma that the Stickers will be available in Mac Messages, is this finally going to be possible? If this isn't possible, why is there support for Mac Catalyst?

Hello everyone, I am currently developing an iMessage app extension using SwiftUI, and I'm experiencing a crash after successfully inserting text into the conversation. I've checked the console, and it prints "Text inserted successfully" before the crash occurs. However, I cannot find the cause of the crash, and I would appreciate any help in identifying and resolving the issue. Here's the relevant code snippet for inserting text into the conversation: private func insertMessage(withText text: String) { self.activeConversation?.insertText(text, completionHandler: { error in if let error = error { print("Error inserting text: \(error)") } else { print("Text inserted successfully") } }) } Additionally I am getting a crash report which I will attach bellow: crash report If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help!

Texts from important people like lawyers and doctors started coming in like this.. with an @ symbol in between each letter within the text message. I have had problems in the past being hacked, and I also have some problems with battery life and receiving phone calls, emails and texts. also my Apple Cash won’t work it says there is a problem with my social security number. I don’t think the image worked.. but I was trying to post a screenshot of this. It looks like this :” H@i D@a@n@ d@i@d@ y@o@u …” the entire text comes in this way from both iPhones and androids. can’t find anything online any help is greatly appreciated! thanks

My company is developing an application that will in part interpret information from a single-sourced SMS message which is a "job opportunity" for users. These messages are sent through either Android or iOS phone numbers to a listening service server for further interpretation. We are not having any issues with Android phone numbers following through this process, but we are having issues with iOS phone numbers, as it is our understanding that those SMS messages must go to the iOS phone first, and then can be forwarded to the final destination. For us, this is an issue in which we cannot ask our users to do this every time they receive a notification of a job opportunity. Can we please confirm the iOS issue? Is there any way around this? This is greatly impacting my application development and will also hurt my business and my user's ability to take advantage of my services if this is the case if we can't find a workaround. I appreciate any help you can provide me. Thank you - Jeff Phone: 508-257-1379

I have an iOS App with an iMessages extension Since upgrading to Xcode 14.3 and iOS 16.4.1 the icon set for the messages extension does not appear on the device; instead showing the no icon placeholder The icons still appear on the simulator, it seems to be just physical devices When I create a new iMessage extension project and use the exact same image assets configured in the same way, the icons appear fine I've noticed a few funny things happening since upgrading to Xcode 14.3, so my best guess is that it's doing something funky behind the scenes. Has anyone experienced something similar / know the root cause for this issue? Note: I've included a reference to both Xcode 14.3 and iOS 16.4.1 as both upgrades happened at the same time so I don't know which, if any are responsible for the issue I'm experiencing.

Hello,My name is Dylan and I made some animated stickers in Motion following these instructions: https://developer.apple.com/support/stickers/motion/.At first I made medium sized stickers but I got a warning message that "The sticker sequence "SEQUENCE NAME" cannot be larger than 512000 bytes, but it's XXXXXX bytes."I changed to small size and one sticker sequence is fine (SA) while the other (SB) still generates the same error as above.In SA, the individual files are 266 KB each and in SB they are 230 KB each.Any ideas why one sequence works while the other does not?

We have an app that uses SMS filtering as its core feature, but have been seeing accelerated reports of our extension getting automatically disabled after users update our app. After doing some testing, it seems that installing an upgrade version on iOS 16.3 the system changes the user's SMS blocking from our app to None when an update occurs. I've tested on a device that is still on 16.0, and that device doesn't exhibit the same behavior. Has anyone else seen this? I've filed a radar (FB11977092) but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen the same behavior with their message filtering apps? We usually release an update or two per month, so this is pretty detrimental to the business if we have to instruct users to re-enable our blocking for even the smallest bug fix update.
