Below is some code that I've adapted from that website, and works for me on my non jailbroken device:
Firstly add "CoreTelephony.framework" to your project then import it into your view controller like so:
#import <CoreTelephony/CoreTelephonyDefines.h>
Next, add the following code:
extern NSString const *kCTSMSMessageReceivedNotification;
extern NSString const *kCTSMSMessageReplaceReceivedNotification;
extern NSString const *kCTSIMSupportSIMStatusNotInserted;
extern NSString const *kCTSIMSupportSIMStatusReady;
typedef struct __CTCall CTCall;
extern NSString *CTCallCopyAddress(void*, CTCall *);
void * CTSMSMessageSend(id server,id msg);
typedef struct __CTSMSMessage CTSMSMessage;
NSString *CTSMSMessageCopyAddress(void *, CTSMSMessage *);
NSString *CTSMSMessageCopyText(void *, CTSMSMessage *);
int CTSMSMessageGetRecordIdentifier(void * msg);
NSString * CTSIMSupportGetSIMStatus();
NSString * CTSIMSupportCopyMobileSubscriberIdentity();
id CTSMSMessageCreate(void* unknow/*always 0*/,NSString* number,NSString* text);
void * CTSMSMessageCreateReply(void* unknow/*always 0*/,void * forwardTo,NSString *text);
id CTTelephonyCenterGetDefault(void);
void CTTelephonyCenterAddObserver(id, id, CFNotificationCallback, NSString *, void *,int);
void CTTelephonyCenterRemoveObserver(id,id,NSString*,void*);
int CTSMSMessageGetUnreadCount(void);
void * CTCallDisconnect(CTCall *call);
static void callback(CFNotificationCenterRef center, void *observer, CFStringRef name, const void *object, CFDictionaryRef userInfo) {
NSString *notifyname = (__bridge NSString *)name;
if ([notifyname isEqualToString:#"kCTCallIdentificationChangeNotification"]) {
NSDictionary *info = (__bridge NSDictionary *)userInfo;
CTCall *call = (__bridge CTCall *)[info objectForKey:#"kCTCall"];
NSString *caller = CTCallCopyAddress(NULL, call);
NSLog(#"RECEIVED CALL: %#", caller);
CTCallDisconnect(call);
}
}
static void signalHandler(int sigraised) {
printf("\nInterrupted.\n");
exit(0);
}
And in viewDidLoad or some other appropriate method, add the following:
id ct = CTTelephonyCenterGetDefault();
CTTelephonyCenterAddObserver(ct, NULL, callback, NULL, NULL, CFNotificationSuspensionBehaviorHold);
sig_t oldHandler = signal(SIGINT, signalHandler);
if (oldHandler == SIG_ERR) {
printf("Could not establish new signal handler");
exit(1);
}
printf("Starting run loop and watching for notification.\n");
CFRunLoopRun();
For now this code is merely a proof of concept and would have to be expanded upon for error handling and whatnot, but you should get the idea.
