iMessage inside your App (iOS5)

Tags:

ios5

I am developing an app for iOS 4 but now with iOS 5 I was wondering new possibilities.

Do you know if is possible to include iMessage inside the app (including a framework or something)? Or send a message to another phone via iMessage inside your app? Like the way we send mails inside ours apps.

Thanks in advance!

What is iMessage app used for?

iMessages are texts, photos, or videos that you send to another iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi or cellular-data networks. These messages are always encrypted and appear in blue text bubbles. To turn iMessage on or off, go to Settings > Messages.

Is there an app to track iMessages?

It is if you go for an iMessage monitoring app that offers other features. eyeZy is one of them. Not only will it show you how to monitor text messages on iPhone, but it will also let you see the conversations happening in other social media apps, like Messenger, Kik, Line, Tinder, and more.

How do I get ios5?

Open iTunes and then click iTunes > Check for Updates to install version 10.5. Once iTunes is up-to-date, connect your iOS device. If you aren't prompted automatically to start downloading iOS 5, select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch under the Devices header in the left-hand column and click Check for Update.

The MessageUI framework added text in 4.2 if i remember correctly. I don't see why this wouldn't be using iMessage in 5.0.

You'll want to us MFMessageComposeViewController from the MessageUI.framework. You can find all the methods on this page of apples developer docs however you'll need to be logged in with a registered developer account as it could contain pre release NDA stuffs.

It may not send iMessages instead of texts/sms' just yet (I say this as I haven't looked) but it should do in the future?

Hope this helps.
