I'm using an ABPersonViewController and I was wondering if it is possible to return to my application after making a phone call or sending an email/message instead of exiting to the respective native apps.
On the iPhone Contacts app, you can make a phone call by pressing the phone number field. Ending the call automatically takes you back to the contact screen. You can also send an email and message by clicking on the respective fields (though ending the email/message action does not take you back to the Contacts).
To be more specific, tapping on "mobile 1 (555) 555-5559" should make a phone call to that number (my app already does that). However, when I end the call, I would like to be directed back to my app and not the native iOS Phone app. I would like similar actions for sending an email and message too.
If this is possible, it would be great if someone could share the solution! Thanks for any help.

AND

In SHORT : It is not possible because Apple/iOS Does not Provide this type of Feature.

I have a working USSD gateway, messages between the user's device and the app are set.
But there is a particular type of message where I don't want to send any dialog back to the user. When a user puts a sim inside a phone for the first time, an automated USSD call is made - I receive it and handle it, to send a configuration SMS or such.
The thing is, then I don't want to send anything to the user - there is no need for the user to be aware of that call. I didn't succeed to do that up to now. Using type End, Unidirectional or Abort didn't change anything. The message processUnstructuredSSRequest_Response still has a string that will show on screen, needing the user to click the "OK" button.
How can I make this happen ?
Found it. It's the prearrangedEnd dialog attribute, look for it in the doc https://www.restcomm.com/docs/core/ussd/USSD_Gateway_Admin_Guide.html#_attributes
I'm working on a SOS app that is supossed to send emails and/or sms when the user needs it to. This will happen using the contacts that the user added to the app. At the moment the user can add 4 of these contacts, regardles of the type (email/sms).
I'm already able to send sms OR emails using
await ChatMessageManager.ShowComposeSmsMessageAsync(chatMessage);
or
await EmailManager.ShowComposeNewEmailAsync(emailMessage);
The problem is doing both things, one after the other.
If I call both of this functions at the "same time", only one of them will show the respective page. Since OnNavigatedFrom and OnNavigatedTo events do not fire in these conditions, is there any other kind of event that fires when it comes back from the pages or some other way to wait until one of the pages is dismissed?
Thanks
Ok I've found the solution
Window.Current.VisibilityChanged
fires in this case. I'm able to figure out when the application is getting visible again and assume that the SMS was treated, launching the email at this stage.
I just start listening to the event before composing the SMS and release it when it comes back. It seem so simple now..
(Still don't know why OnNavigatedTo doesn't work)
Launch 2 SMS Compose tasks in Windows Phone 8.1 RT App pointed me in the right direction.
Is it possible to have a background app display a notification based on who is contact details from an incoming caller, either before the call is answered or during?
No, the system will not allow you to interact with phone calls in any way.
You can set the image for certain people in the address book using the Address Book API. That way, a certain background image (potentially with a textual message) will be shown, based on who is calling.
With time, things change. Look at sync.me, when you get an incoming call, the latest post on facebook will show just above the accept/decline button. Though I still can't get the idea of how it is done.
Currently I am developing an authentication module for my application. The user provides his phone number and a SMS with some pin code is send to him.
The user enters the code and if it is valid his phone number is authenticated. Maybe you know WhatsApp, it does quite the same when you run the app first time.
However if the user puts a new sim card in his phone he should authenticate it again.
I want to know how to determine if phone number has changed. I read in some other question that it is not possible to determine the phone number itself. But e.g. WhatsApp recognizes that there is another phone number.
Any ideas?
Update 2
One (not the best) way it's detecting carrier changing. Here you can see how to get carrier's name. Save it at first launch and do compare on next launches.
Update 3
I'd recommend to you look at Core Telephony Network reference and especially at CTTelephonyNetworkInfo reference
subscriberCellularProviderDidUpdateNotifier allow you respond on events such like:
... when the user’s cellular provider information changes. This occurs, for example, if a user
swaps the device’s SIM card with one
from another provider, while your
application is running
I spend some days to search solution about this trouble :
I have an app wich receive notificaiton from other user. The single data, I have under server side is the number phone. So I want, when the notification is receive on the iphone, to link the number phone of sender to the addressbook of receiver for display, if the number phone is foud, the firstname of the sender to the notification.
This feature is like sms reception on the iphone, where is just the number phone used finally, and is linked to the address book.
The notification system on my app is enabled and run without trouble, but this feature is not resolved, and i found the response nowhere on the net.
Ok, i search more, and i think, this feature could be possible if the app can write under the Localize.string. In fact, it could be possible to write key value, like ("93019320"="Carla") and in the notification text the phone number "93019320" is replace by the string "Carla". But the second question is
Is it possible to write in Localiza.string under app?
