I have implemeted QuickBlox audio/video call.
I have an issue, When a incoming call received it shows a number instead of user name.
Please find the attached image.
How to replace this with caller user name.
This is not Quickblox functionality, check Apple CallKit Documentation: Identifying Incoming Callers section.
For example, consider a user who is friends with Jane in a social
networking app, but who doesn’t have her phone number in their
contacts. The social networking app has a Call Directory app
extension, which downloads and adds the phone numbers of all of the
user’s friends. Because of this, when the user gets an incoming call
from Jane, the system displays something like “(App Name) Caller ID:
Jane Appleseed” rather than “Unknown Caller”. To provide identifying
information about incoming callers, you use the
addIdentificationEntry(withNextSequentialPhoneNumber:label:) method in
the implementation of beginRequest(with:).

I am newbie in ios app development. I want to create application for ios with the following functionality. When the phone is receiving incoming call (no matter if the number is in the contact list or not) I want when the call is over and the phone's owner opens my application to see he's last call's number there.
Is that possible? I've read about CallKit API but I am still not sure if this can help me. Is it possible phone's owner to give such permissions to my app so it can access this information?
Is it possible to maintain both group text messages and single text messages with users and keep them separate? I understand there is no concept of a group message per se, but wanted to see if any recent advances in tech has made this possible with Twilio or other providers.
In short, I am creating a POC where a user inside an iOS App can send invoke an API call to my backend application. This application receives a phone number from someone's contact list, and then connects to Twilio to send the SMS message to that target user.
When the user replies, I was researching Twilio Web hooks to receive the message, and then save it in the database. The originating user, then, would be able to see the message on a screen.
I would guess that when a user responds to the twilio message, the only metadata that comes in is their message and phone number, so the "foreign key" is the phone number.. Thus when I save it in my database, I have their phone number and message.
This works up until someone decides to target two or more people in an SMS message using my API, and then target one of those people individually. For example they select me as a sole recipient, and then select me and someone else as a group text message.
In this case, how could my system/Twilio differentiate between if I was responding to the group message, or to the single message?
Any ideas or work arounds? Maybe another technology? Thanks!
I wanted to provide an answer to this in case anyone else was looking into this.
Essentially you pay 3 cents (0.03) per month per active user in each group. Basically you buy phone numbers for each group chat you need.

So if you're doing a million group chats obviously it can get costly, but for simple POCs this isn't the end of the world.
Enjoy!
I want to show the background image on Call kit when a call is coming.I have searched a lot but not find any solution.And also I want to open the app when the phone is locked.Please help me
Thanks in Advance.
If your app has requested and been granted access to the user's Contacts database, it can modify the Contacts database to add a photo to any entry. So although there is no API to directly supply an image to be shown for a CallKit call, you may be able to modify or create a Contact database entry for a given caller before notifying the system of the incoming call via the -reportNewIncomingCallWithUUID:update:reply: API, and then that Contact entry's photo will be shown.
I have searched and have not been able to find a definitive answer. I know that it is not possible to get the phone number of the current caller using Objective-C, but I don't need the number.
I want to send a text message to the current caller. Does iOS have a method to allow you to send a text message from an app to the current caller.
The scenario is this:
End user calls another user
They put the person they called on speaker phone and navigate to my app
The app has a button that allows them to share information via SMS to the person they are talking to while they are talking to them without having to do anything more than click a button (the user doesn't have to type the other person's phone number manually to send the SMS).
Sukhdeep is correct.iOS will never allow you to perform Messaging without user involvement.
The answer is No.
Apple will never allow you this.
Is it possible to send a text immediately inside an app. I have implemented the sms send. I just want to bypass the screen where the user has to press send.
There is no way to bypass the MFMessageViewController screen where the user has to tap "send." I assume Apple has designed it this way to prevent an app from potentially spamming a user's contact list.
In addition, there is no way to detect income SMS. Both these features are strictly reserved for the native Messages app.
For more information on sending an SMS on iOS check this out.
One alternative is to implement sending and receiving messages within your app using a web service to store and retrieve messages. For example, you could use a messages library like JSQMessagesViewController documented here and for simplicity's sake, you could use a BaaS like Parse.
