I am a new iphone application developer.
i am making an application which requires an incoming message notification even if the application is closed.
can anybody tell me how to do that...
Thanks

Apple has not implemented a way for your application to listen for incoming text messages or phone calls. iOS only sends out notification about changes to your applications state. For example, when your phone rings in which case your application will receive the applicationWillResignActive (on versions older than iOS4 applicationWillTerminate) notification.
Strictly speaking these are not actual notifications, these methods will be called in your applications delegate.
The closes solution would probably be what Brad suggests in this thread.
You can use core telephony framework but you cant upload your app on app store.Because it's private framework which apple doesn't allow.Using this framework you can send sms upto ios 5 for ios 6 i am looking into this.

I want to disconnect a phone call programatically in iOS7. I know we can programmatically handle the interruptions for Incoming calls, SMS etc. on iPhone (without Appstore).
I have to create a launch daemon to get notifications as CTCallCenter doesn't deliver the notifications to UIApplications in the background as explained by Nate in his Answer.
Nate's comments shows there is some scope of disconnecting certain calls on an iPhone using the launch daemon (without Appstore).
So, My first question is it possible ? and if it is then How to do ?
Note : My App is not going to be on AppStore.
Hi it's not possible in iOS7. You need special entitlement so until there will be a jailbreak you are out of luck
I'm developing an iOS phonegap application which receives messages from a node.js/socket.io server. Everything works fine except when the application is "suspended". The user must re-activate the application to see incoming messages. Alerts throw only when the application is active.
Is there any workaround to throw alert messages even if the application is suspended.
Thanks in advance,
After a long research and some tests, it seems that it is impossible to keep an application running on background if it does not track localisation, use voip, play music and a limited number of other scenarios... at least on iOS.
I'm going to use APNS instead.
On iOS 8 you can wake up the app with a notification or by a time interval and then e.g. performFetchWithCompletionHandler
I am working on iPhone game application, in which user can play game and records some data.
My problem is that the application not supporting background processing. In my application if call's appearing then my application is terminated. But I need to save user current state.
I have read some blog and post in which they have mention that core telephony frame work can give us all such state and notification. But someone mention that core telephony API is an private API. If will use this API then APPLE accept my application or not? I need to save my application current state.
You are looking for the answers in the wrong place. You do not need any access to the telephony API.
Apps by default enter the background and return to the foreground, on modern devices and iOS versions - Perhaps you are running your app on an older device or on iOS version 3.x, in which case all apps (not just yours) will be terminated when they are "exited".
Even in this case the solution is not the telephony API, but handling a notification sent to your app about your application terminating - You can save state there, and then reload it when your app is re-run.

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.
