testing send text message from iPhone simulator

Post by thresh » Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:37 pm

I'd like to build a simple iOS app that can send text messages. I am using the iOS simulator, not a real device (I haven't signed up for the apple developer program yet). mobileCanComposeTextMessage() is returning false, even when I run it in the simulator. Is that because I MUST have a text messaging application running on my host machine (MAC OS X 10.9)?

Thanks.

Hi thresh,

no, because the simulator cannot send textmessages, as it cannot make real phone calls. 8)
This will work on a "real" device however!


Best

Klaus

P.S.

OK. Thanks for the quick reply. No more "head scratching" on that one!
