Starting with iOS 4.0, you can send SMS messages from within the app. You can do it using the MFMessageComposeViewController class.
Here's one of the many tutorials available on the internet on how to do it.

Does tvOS provide a standard alert for force-updating app?

Sometimes users have to update app to be compatible with server API, so I need to show a must-update-now alert. Is there some build-in message in all supported languages in tvOS or I have to provide such message myself for all languages?
And how do I go to App Store page for my app in tvOS?
Update: I see that there is Harpy/Siren library for ObjC/Swift so it looks like I will have to translate it myself.

You can do one thing. You can make web service in .net or in php. Or there are third party api for sending sms to other users like way2sms.com. these are just for .net and in php.
with jailbroken phones this is feasible.. I don't know the detail though..

Can I access the text of my SMS messages using the iPhone SDK?

Can I access the text of my SMS messages using the iPhone SDK?
Meaning existing messages, not creating new ones.
Correct, you cannot access these on a standard, non-jailbroken iPhone. You should file a bug with Apple, perhaps they'll improve SMS access in the future.

How can I access to the iPhone address book in a web app?

I'm currently developing a web app for my company. In this application, there's a form with input fields containing informations about contacts. I would like to create a button which allows to create a contact in the address book on a click.
Is there anyway to access the address book with JavaScript or other web language ?
For example, on windows and IE we can create an ActiveX object in JavaScript to create contacts in Outlook...
Thanks.
If this turns out to be possible, I'm eating my Mighty Mouse ..
I apologize for the slightly unrelated answer
P.S: to make this answer slightly more related; you could accomplish this by creating a hybrid between a native application and a web app, where the native app will pop-up the address book and then return its data to the web app.
If you create a link that generates a file in the vCard format, the iPhone version of Safari might recognize it as a contact and automatically launch the address book app when they click on the link.
It appears that this would NOT work as of iPhone 2.1 (no vCard support in safari), but it might work in 3.0 - I have seen that people will be able to send vCards via MMS on the iPhone, so maybe they'll work in safari too? I guess you'd just have to try it to find out.

Is it possible to programmatically add an iPhone contact to the phone favorites?

I have an iPhone application that adds new contacts via the Address Book Framework.
Is it possible to programmatically add a new or existing contact to the phone "Favorites" list?
If it is possible, pointer to doc, code or API please?
I don't believe it is possible using documented methods (so no App Store for you if you work it out). It is not a feature of the Address Book API but part of Apple's own Contacts application.
