how to send MMS from the iphone by programming? - iphone

i have implemening image sharing functionality in my application.
I have implemented email sharing functionality but i dont know MMS functionality.Please advice me how to implement MMS functionality.

It's impossible with current API.
I've seen a workaround in SMS-box application: it copies text and image to clipboard and then asks user to paste it in standard sms app.
You can see it in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2gY5w1QUnY (from 2:15)

Disallow users to download stickers from iMessage extension/app

I am creating an iMessage extension. When the user sends the sticker from my app in iMessage it(sticker) becomes available as an attachment(i button in iMessage conversation -> Images section). I do not want users to be able to download a sent sticker.
I have tried different ways to send a sticker:
iMessage app using StickerView
Send a sticker with MSConversation.insert using MSMessages, MSStickers, Attachments. Only MSMessages don't allow the users to downloaded the sticker.
But I also need to be able to send a gif(it is not possible using MSMessages.MSMessagesTempletaLayout).
I have seen that the gifs without ability to download them work in Crossy Road iMessage extension so it is possible
Please give me some advise how can I do that?
As I told since I’m using MSConversation I cannot use MSStickerView. While investigating the issue I have tried all possible ways to send this gif via MSConversation, but they didn’t work. The gif was sent but it was available to download.
The answer:
I was really shocked and disappointed when found the problem.
All the time I was using simulator to test this. When I launched the app on my device - it worked! Have no idea why Apple made the stickers available to download in simulator. So actually the answer is - Test iMessage Apps only on a device.
P.S. It doesn’t look like a real answer but I hope it will be helpful for someone

how to send formatted text in iphone

I am developing one application that has many controls to format the text.The controls are like colors,Font Style,Border,Giving Background to Text,and even animations.
My Question is can I send this formatted text through SMS and MMS to my friends?is apple support this?
please give me any link or any reference where i can study this and implement it in my project.
thanx in Advance....
As far as I know its not possible, I have seen SO many of these apps on the store that basically just save as a picture and send as a picture.
As of now... in the SDK MFMessageComposeViewController doesn't support MMS.
Although you can render an image and send it.
HOW DO THEY DO IT????
They might send a request back to their server which sends an mms from there?
Here are some options:
This is not possible with the current MessageUI API: the MSMessageComposeViewController doesn't accept attachments like the MFMailComposeViewController does.
The only way to do this currently is to use an external service that allows you to send mms via a REST call for example.
GSMA defines a REST specification for exactly this purpose: http://www.gsmworld.com/oneapi/reference_documentation-version_1.html (multiple pdf's on this page)
Try to find a local service provider that implements this specification and you're good to go.
Just to add the direct wiki link to the OneAPI MMS spec: http://gsma.securespsite.com/access/Access%20API%20Wiki/MMS%20RESTful%20API.aspx and a link to the PHP/Java sandbox https://github.com/OneAPI/GSMA-OneAPI where MMS can be tested locally . Cheers.
Apple only supports sending of SMS text messages, use the MFMessageComposeViewController.
Since sms only supports sending plain text you can't set any format.
MFMessageComposeViewController does not support MMS, which would allow you to send formated messages.

How to upload photos to my server with an iOS hybrid web/binary Application?

I'm working on a hybrid app for iOS,
This application is a binary which basically contains a UIWebView to use my client's web service. The binary does also provide feedback to the user about the connectivity status of the device (using reachability).
There's a feature that I'm working on now, which basically requires a user to fill a small web form in the UIWebView, and that should allow the user to "attach" a picture (e.g avatar).
I was wondering if I could exploit the fact that I'm wrapping the UIWebView (to interact with the web service) in a binary to handle the image upload for the user without having to leave my Application?
I'm open to possible solutions.
Cheers.
Have a look at UIImagePickerController. It allows the user to pick images from the Photos app or the Camera within your application. Then you can upload the selected image to your server using NSURLConnection. The presence of UIWebView is irrelevant.

Best way for MMS in iphone

I am trying to implement an MMS functionality in my app. Because I need
to send text and two images at the same time and I already have an email functionality.
Unfortunately, the current SDK does not allow sending MMS yet.
What is the easiest and cheapest way to create add an MMS functionality to my app?
There is no way to this in the current version of the iPhone SDK.
You will need use your own MMS server and create your own API to talk to that server.
