How can I make my app be able to receive MMS? I am developing one app that should receive MMS. In other words my app should be able to read MMS.
Pretty sure that's not possible unless you're writing for jailbroken phones...

I am new to iPhone development. I want to create an iPhone application, using which user can send message to another user who is using the same App through Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. I want to know how can i send a message into another iPhone via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi? I want to know the technology which i should use to sending such thing from one iPhone to another through Bluetooth/Wi-Fi.
thanks.
You are looking for Game Kit. Check this guide by apple.
I want to create an iPhone app with following features:
User should be able to make a call to number.
App will play the prerecorded message when call get connected.
After playing the message, line will be connected and user will be able to communicate with the person to whom he made the call.
I heard that Apple doesn't allow the developers to interact with the calling functionality of iPhone but is there any way to achieve this. Please suggest!
Thanks-
You have heard correctly, According to Apple Developer Library, it is not possible to intercept the calling functionality.
Simple Apple does not allow such stuff with current sdk.
Not so sure but, May be possible for jailbroken iPhone app.
I am trying to implement an MMS functionality in my app. Because I need
to send text and two images at the same time and I already have an email functionality.
Unfortunately, the current SDK does not allow sending MMS yet.
What is the easiest and cheapest way to create add an MMS functionality to my app?
There is no way to this in the current version of the iPhone SDK.
You will need use your own MMS server and create your own API to talk to that server.
HI,
I'm aware that accessing the SMS incoming isn't possible in the iPhone SDk but could i read the alertView that is active on the iPhone (ie. new SMS alert) and store its values into a variable? Obviously this would require backgrounding but in theory could this work?
As other stated, you cannot see the SMS message or associated alerts.
Not sure about iOS, but on other platforms (e.g. Java ME) it is possible to address an SMS to your application instead of the phone's "inbox" (default handler). This requires that you control the server sending the SMS message.
I imagine even if you could catch an SMS targeted at your iOS app, you wouldn't. Instead use Apple's Push Notification system.
I hesitate to type this in an iOS related question, but the Android OS makes it pretty trivial for an app to see SMS messages. You can even be woken up as they arrive. So, if you just want to test out some idea you have, consider that.
No. You can access your own alerts but not those from other applications.
Unfortunately, you cannot access other application's data, be it in background or not.
Is it possible to invoke an application on reception of an sms. I have created a sample application and it need to be launched when the iphone recieves a particular message. Is it possible to implement this in iphone. If possible, which way shall i do that... pls help...
In short, no.
In the long answer, I believe with version 3.0 you can have your app subscribe to Apple's push notification service. Meaning that you can have your app answer to a notification from Apple that you send. Not quite SMS, but it accomplishes the same thing.
