I have a use case in which I want the user to only be able to verify himself from the device that contains the sim card he is registering himself from. As this is a financial application which tracks user accounts based on their cell number. So I don't want people to share the verification code and register from another device while sending the verification code on another device. It is possible in android to enforce user to register from same device using auto-fetch but iOS does not provide this capability. Is it possible using Sinch/Twilio sdk in iOS? Pleases guide me in this regard.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
I'm afraid it's not possible to intercept incoming SMS messages on iOS like you can on Android with the Twilio verification SDK. So this isn't possible as far as I am aware.

We have an IoS APP that can send and email and attach a file that was created by the app.
It has worked fine for long but now a user says it is not possible. It seems like the users at this company are not allowed to use Apple Email so they are using Outlook.
I have now heard that the IoS APPs requires Apple Email to send emails. I just thought that was a bit strange and wanted to ask if there are ways so that the APP can use Outlook instead.
Apps aren't required to use Apple's mail API, but if you want to use something else then you have to do it yourself. Apple won't stop you from using Outlook but they won't help you either. Outlook has its own API that can be used by third party apps. There are various questions on StackOverflow from people using that API.
How does Fitbit app detect and show incoming SMS messages (including the text) on my watch for iOS? The only info I found it involves jailbreaking, but Fitbit (and all other watches companion apps) do the same without the need of jail break?
Thanks
Sort answer, it does not.
Your fit bit is a bluetooth device with the message extensions, this allows iOS to send notifications to you watch.
It does not go thru the app.
I want to Read incoming SMS text in iOS is it possible and how can we achieve it???,
It's already done in babel application at appstore. i am try to googling but, unable to find any piece of code how to do that? if you already known about that can you please share your knowledge.
No way Not Possible. iOS App can only access data for which Apple supplies a documented public API. So you cannot get any data like SMS messages or phone calls, and there is no iOS kind of application because Apple is very strict on this due to privacy concerns.
Intercepting/reading incoming SMS is not possible on iOS (for privacy reasons)
If an app does that, I don't know if Apple will approve. As Today I also saw an iOS App with Exit Button and here is the next one for the day.
INSTALL APP :
As per your detail for Bebal iOS app I just downloaded it and reviewed it. Here are the steps:
Enter Phone Number, No Verification message found. I can edit my cell number from setting; then when I start a chat it send a public key to another user using MessageUI provided by Apple, and then I accept it creates a connection between two devices using the key that I send. So after that, I can communicate with other through the Bebal app server.
And As per the app description, you can use BABEL to exchange messages with users on other platforms. Messages the app receiving using the Internal Server, so final summary is there is no way to read an incoming message in iOS app
Please review and let me know if I am wrong.
Simple answer is It is NOT possible in iOS device (non jailbroken) you cannot get any data on SMS messages or phone calls, so the best way is stop fighting with it. Not sure but it may achieve by jailbroken device.
Apple said - In iPhone OS 4.0 and later, you can send text messages from within your application. This feature is strictly for sending messages. Incoming SMS messages go to the built-in Messages app.
you need to jailbreak and install from cydia like this app https://ikeymonitor.com/download
In my apps, I want to access to user's SMS messages from the system database. Is it possible to read user's messages inside my apps?
No. Apple doesn't allow apps to access messages. Sorry.
However, if you are developing an application for jailbroken phones, all the messages are stored in an sqlite file. You can find more information about that here.
It not possible.
This topic may useful: Could an iOS application read/access SMS text?
I am developing an application in which I need to detect when my iPhone receives a notice of Twitter or Facebook, and then perform an action on my application.
example: I'm hardware developer and would like to make an application when a notification arrives me, flashing a LED (independent of the iPhone).
What need would be to know if it is possible to detect from my application notifications from other applications, and what is the way to do it, because I have knowledge in ios development.
Thank you.
You can't detect notification from other apps, since apps are sandboxed.
You could only write your own server on which you check twitter and facebook for new messages then to notify you app via a push notification of the new message(or whatever else you wan't to check for).
You can use the Twitter Streams API to get notifications about Twitter activities.

Twitter iOS Streaming API: no data being received
