I want to develop an iphone app ,in which user can send a common message (Broadcast Message) to unlimited (Select All Contacts) and send to all at one time (In single attempt ) .It's possible to share images or text you want through Whatsapp in a iOS app?
Any idea regarding this?
There's also a WhatsAppKit on Github now: Check Link
There is no way you can use Whats app into App up till now. If so than also i will suggest not to rely on that.
If you want to make an feature for to broadcast a text message or image the best way is to implement your own. You can do the following:
Use xmpp Protocol
Implement push notification to notify for new broadcast messages
Create API for sending/receiving text messages & image & call it when you get notification

I am developing the App, When i receive the call ,I am changing the contact picture of that person who has called , I am fetching his number from the server , i know i cannot access the incoming number ,so by developing this kind of application will apple approve my App ?
I am not violating any Guideline or Rules ,but i just want to know does Apple allows this changing the contact picture of person programmatically ?
You can change a contact picture, check the Address Book Programming Guide for iOS.
About that idea of doing something when you get a call, your app can't be notified when you get an incoming call, there's no API for that, so there's no way of doing this the way you are planning.
I searched all already asked questions here on Stack Overflow, and all of them deal with "sending" an SMS programmatically to another phone and that is NOT what I want.
I want to just add an SMS to the inbox, without using the cellular network or any other service and write a from "my_company_name" etc. Basically I want to avoid making the user or my company pay for the SMS. I know about push notifications and I will use them as well, but I need SMSs.
I thought about that maybe, if the user sends the SMS to himself it would be free of charge, but that "seems" to be not true at all.
The Messages app (and its notification UIs) only displays messages that come in over SMS or iMessage. What you're looking for isn't possible with public API.
As there is no public API available to do this (I guess you already now that), you'll have to go for the private APIs.
You might want to take a look at the source code of BigBoss's WifiSMS. This app allows one to control the iPhone's SMS system thru your computer. I haven't tested it myself yet, but BigBoss is a pretty credible application creator when it comes to jailbroken devices.
I want to add 100 SMS in my iPhone programmatically. Does anyone know how to do it?
You can use MFMessageComposeViewController to present a viewController filled with text and numbers to the user. But you can't send automatically sms.
You could use web based SMS API services I believe. Take a look at Twilio as an example. Also the One API Gateway is currently rolled out across Canada and will be expanding to other markets soon
I used this code in my app in order to send background sms
But i am not able to upload app on itunes it says:using non public api
#class CTMessageCenter;
can any one tell me any way to send schedule sms when application is in background
or
can any one tell me any way to send sms without presenting SMS composer
There is no "legal" (aka permitted by Apple) way to do this.
The only work around I can assume is having a webservice on a server side, which would be the one sending the messages. You're app should communicate with the server and tell him what to do (text, hour...)
You cant :) why would apple let you send sms on peoples behalf?
I'm still new to the API and I wanted to ask:
Can you send a text message programmatically?
Can you access the users contact list programmatically?
I'm thinking no. I haven't seen anything about text messaging in the API, and I figure the sandboxing that the iPhone does keeps you away from the phones contact list.
Thanks everyone.
1) I'm afraid you can't send SMS with the iPhone SDK although you can make a link to send an SMS like so:
a href="sms:408-555-5555">408 555 5555</a>
2) You can access the contact list with the Address Book UI framework
one way round the sms/mms problem is to use an external aggregator then you can utilise http between a server and the iphone to send sms obviously there is a cost involved this way to the developer
Yes You can build an app to send SMS.
All u need a server API, which u gonna call through ur code, to send sms.
I am saying this bcoz i am currently working on it.
As soon as i m done with my app,i am gonna share it.
