Can we get incoming call information(number) programmatically in iOS7?
I want to create an application so that at the time of any incoming call, my application cuts the call and sends a text message to that number.
Read this may be helpfull, Because in this user blocking calls according to number. where you can check your number How can I use private APIs to block incoming calls in an iOS application?
In this user getting info of incoming calls
There is a hack for this but you can't publish to the AppStore with it.
You can only use this in ad-hoc applications.

I am trying to record incoming and outgoing calls in iPhone... Is it possible to record calls in iOS ?
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Yes you can.
With the use of AudioToolbox and libkern/OSAtomic.h
First of all you need to trigger when an incoming call coming.
Fire an event when ever there is Incoming and Outgoing call in iphone?
Recording the call this is what you exactly looking for.
SO post
Note:
Apple allows these hooks only when your application in foreground.
Conditions that allow your app runs in background:
For tasks that require more execution time to implement, you must request specific permissions to run them in the background without their being suspended.
In iOS, only specific app types are allowed to run in the background:
Apps that record audio content while in the background
Apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
Apps that support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Apps that need to download and process new content regularly
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories

Record the conversation of phone - ios
There is no public API for recording the calls made (or received) by the built-in Phone app.
You will have to implement your own phone calling mechanism. You'll probably want to use VoIP. (That is what Google Voice uses, for example.) You'll need to run your own server on the Internet, or contract with an existing VoIP service. You'll want to use in-app purchase to let the user buy minutes, because it costs money to run your own server or use a third-party service.
How to get the incoming call phone number programmatically by using call kit framework. i tried with cxcallobserver class but no use.
Any suggestions most helpful...
When using CallKit's Call Blocking & Identification feature (new in iOS 10), phone numbers to be blocked or identified are loaded by your app's Call Directory extension prior to an incoming call and the phone numbers are stored by the system. Then, when an incoming call arrives, this stored data is consulted by the system and an incoming call may either be blocked or identified in the incoming call UI with the label provided.
For privacy and performance reasons, Call Directory app extensions are not launched when incoming calls arrive and an app extension cannot retrieve the phone number for an incoming call.
The Call Directory extension introduced in iOS 10 works like the Safari Content Blocker Extension that was introduced in iOS 9. Your extension has to supply a list of phone numbers (in safari's extension, it was a json file), these numbers will be stored by the iOS, and on the event of an incoming call, the system checks the list provided by your extension( same like safari would check the rules specified by the json file before loading a website ), provided, your extension is active at that time.
So, using this feature for creating a Caller ID like app is not possible, because things are not dynamic.
Also there may be a limit on the number of phone numbers you can provide in the list, which hopefully be announced by the iOS 10 release.
What exactly I need is that when an incoming call come and my app is in foreground than the call must be automatically received and loudspeaker must be activated.
I have seen many post in SO saying that to intercept the calls is not possible in iOS.
But what if I use any VoIP API and make calls from it to my app[app to app call] ?
can I receive the call automatically in that case or that time also the SDK won't allow me to do so as its the core part of iOS I am too much confused.
This is not possible with UIKit, and furthermore if you did use private Apis your app would not be approved.
How does Truecaller intercept incoming phonecalls on the iphone to display caller ID?
I didn't think this was possible from within the app?
Specifically, if I wanted to build this functionality, what protocols would I go about using?
http://www.truecaller.com/how-it-works
On an iPhone, without jailbreaking it:
- you cannot intercept a call in any way
- you cannot determine the phone number nor the caller ID identifying information regarding the call. Even if you could there
is no way to alter what is displayed on the call screen
- you cannot block the call
- your program can get a notification when a call is being made/terminated etc. But only if your app is executing in the
foreground at the time of the call or if the app is in the
background and has a relevant background mode (even then you can
only know there is a call in some circumstance, depending upon what
you're doing in the background and what state your in etc. Its too complex to describe the exact situation here briefly)
True Caller doesn't do that on iOS as it isn't supported with the native SDK. See their FAQ:
http://www.truecaller.com/support , specifically the "Why don't I receive live caller ID?" Section under "iPhone/Windows Phone". If you must though, try looking into a solution for jailbroken devices.
It's impossible to "intercept" calls. It is possible to handle the "background event call" when a iPhone get's a call. That said, Truecaller doesn't intercept calls. More info can be found on their website.
Hi i have tried for bundle of times and find out that iOS SDK does not give us access due to security reasons for getting following data;
Intercept an incoming call (Getting phone number from incoming call)
Read Call history
Intercept SMS (Getting phone number from incoming SMS and reading its contents)
Block an incoming call
etc
Here are some of the links resulting from my search about this issue:-

I also found that CoreTelephony CTCall object provide us only limited info, Just call state and its unique Id. But nothing else we can get by using CoreTelephony framework.
But, I have seen one application on app store that does gets incoming call phone number.
I wonder how this app
Callinize iPone App
works and gets incoming call info?
I also want the same thing to do with my app. But i did't find such a way to do. Please help if you can.
Thanks!
I'm late to the party here, but I was just reading the description of Callinize. They built an integration with the Asterix pbx system and it only works with Asterix. So this app does not really access iOS phone calls.
