Hello all,
I'm developing a Mac app and need to read the content of incoming SMS, I am able to implement in android just the user has to consent and it does not read her contacts messages, so I am wondering if apple can allow this.
A Mac app?
macOS doesn’t have an API for accessing the user’s SMS messages. You might be able to make some progress by using AppleScript to script the Messages app, but that’s quite limited.
On iOS there is TelephonyMessagingKit, but it comes with its own limitations. Rather than summarise them here, I recommend that you read the Default carrier messaging apps section of the docs.
If the above isn’t sufficient, feel free to file an enhancement request outlining your specific requirements. Please post your bug number, just for the record.
Share and Enjoy
