What I want this App to be able to do, is to be able to allow the individual copy all the text messages on his/ her phone and then send them to their profile on the website that I am creating. Is this possible ?
If you mean the user copying from the SMS app to your app via cut and paste yes. But I think you mean can your app programmatically grab all of someone's text messages and the answer to that is no.

Is there a way to store app notifications in a flutter app. Most of the time this app will be closed and the app notifications will not directly be hitting the app. I would like to store app notifications in a notifications received section. I know I can get the notifications if the app is opened, but for if the app is closed and it just shows as a status, I can't get them in the device unless the user clicks on the notification message. and it opens the app. What options do I have and is what I am wanting to do even possible?
First interpretation of your question: If I read your question correctly, you're saying its not possible to have text in your notifications when the app is not open. This is definitely possible, almost all your apps create notifications on the device with more than just 'status'.
Another interpretation of your question: In response to a firebase cloud messaging message, you might want to save data or do some other background task, instead of just creating a notification the user sees. This is not enabled by default. There's lots more instructions on enabling and using this in the README
By default background messaging is not enabled. To handle messages in the background:
The golden nugget of information is _firebaseMessaging.configure(onBackgroundMessage: yourBackgroundMessageHandler) which is not listed under the receiving messages section.
Let me know if I misread. What do you mean by status?
You can use background Fetch to make the app stay in the background. The package will awaken an app in the background about every 15 minutes.
I'm creating an iPhone app that uses the native iOS mail app. Is it possible that when the user clicks either cancel or send in the mail app, it can then redirect back to the app itself without having to reopen it?
Is it then also possible that when the user goes to access the mail portion of the app, it can display the mail app within my app in a webview type manner? Thanks.
No, you cannot change the functionality of another publisher's app, especially Apple's. But it sounds like you can accomplish what your want to do by using MFMailComposeViewController. It allows you to send an email from within your app, i.e. without leaving it to go to the native mail client.
If what you are doing is just sending emails you can display a MFMailComposeViewController to allow user to send emails without leaving the app.
Is there a way using which i can access attachments downloaded though the iOS Mail app? I need to access photos or other documents in my app.
No You cannot access the Mail App Data in any way. It is against the Privacy concerns of the iOS device user. However, the images in the user's iPhone Gallery can be accessed and used in the app according to your needs.
If you register your app to handle various file types, then you could select open with yourapp from within the mail application. So you could send a file from the mail application to your app. For more information see https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/DocumentInteraction_TopicsForIOS/Articles/RegisteringtheFileTypesYourAppSupports.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010411-SW1
No, You are not authorized to take any device data without user interaction that too limited access. You can create your customized mailing data with you have sent mails.
User downloads my iPhone app from the appStore link I provide from invite email. Is it possible to persist/cache the user-data say email Address and pre-fill when the app launched.
Thank you.
You can get all the data that Apple allows you to get, which is absolutely none - you can't get the user's email, you can't get his phone number, you can't get his UDID. No way to identify him. If you want anything from the user, he needs to enter it manually. If you think about it - it's actually a good thing. All your iphone information is completely secure and protected.
No, this can't be done. Your special link might take the user to the app store, but then that's it. The act of installing the app has nothing to do with your link anymore and no data can be passed to the freshly installed app.
Of course once the app is installed, if the user taps on a special link you provide, it could force your app to run and provide data to it.
Maybe you could provide a QR code the use can scan with your app the first time they run it. The QR code can contain the data you want. Of course the user may choose to not scan the code. Then again, the user can install your app without using your link to begin with.
I wish to access whether or not the user lets his/her iPhone preview the contents of incoming SMS messages. This toggle is found in Settings > Messages > Show Preview. Is there a way to access (read only) this information legit (I need to get the app approved)?
No. It's sandboxed along with the other core phone functionality.
