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.
This will work on a "real" device however!

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