  • Not sure what you're getting at. Are you making a replacement for the SMS app (which I think Apple is going to reject for duplicating existing functionality), or are you making an app that relies on a phone receiving SMS messages to function? – BoltClock Sep 10 '10 at 09:30

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.

    kCTSMSMessageReceivedNotification .this is the notification i get from a forum.But i dont't know how to use this.so if anybody know about this..do tell me. – Rachit Sep 10 '10 at 10:04
  • this is a jail broken application.so apple has no concerns in this. – Rachit Sep 10 '10 at 10:05
  • @Rachit, in that case disregard everything i said. This only applies to the standard SDK, i have no experience whatsoever with jailbreak. – deRailed Sep 10 '10 at 10:22

    Apps can use CallKit framework to receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls using the native phone UI, but SMS is not supported yet - https://developer.apple.com/reference/callkit – Pavel Osipov Dec 07 '16 at 06:37

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.
