I am planning to develop an application which uses sms as an input source. i am unable to find any documentation regarding how to access sms. Any idea where i should look?
how to read user's sms in an application?
You should look to other platforms that don't value the user's privacy 🙂 Accessing SMS messages is impossible on iOS. If the message includes a link with a custom URL scheme tthen the user could tap on it and that would open your app and pass it the info from the URL. But you can't access the messages themselves.
Privicy prohibits that practice on iOS. And that's a good thing. Be sure to check section 17, Privacy, in the https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#privacy
