Send programmatically SMS on jailbreak device

by

Found out why - (BOOL)sendSMSWithText:(id)arg1 serviceCenter:(id)arg2 toAddress:(id)arg3; is not working since iOS 6.

This API is protected by the entitlement com.apple.CommCenter.Messages-send. Just sign your app with this entitlement set to true. It’s much better than my another answer here (XPC method) because of the two main reasons:

  1. sendSMSWithText tells you whethere message was sent successfully
  2. Messages sent using sendSMSWithText are not being saved in the SMS database and can’t be seen anywhere. On the other hand, messages sent using XPC method are being saved in SMS database and can be seen in Messages application.

So, win win. I strongly suggest dropping XPC method also because it’s using pretty low level API that can change easily in new iOS version. sendSMSWithText can be found even in iOS 7 and I don’t think it will be dropped any time soon.

UPDATE

In order to use this API on iOS 7 and above you need to add another entitlement with bool value set to true – com.apple.coretelephony.Identity.get.
