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:-
How can I get the callers phone number from an incoming call on iphone
http://iosstuff.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/accessing-iphone-call-history/
Programmatically get the number of the incoming call
Can I fetch details of the incoming call phone number in my applicaton?
Hook into incoming call?
handling an incoming call through an app in iphone xcode
Identify number of incoming call in iPhone
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.

I am looking for some source code for iOS 10 and below by which I can get the caller number when some phone call arrived and that call can be rejected by the application, if call is some fraud call (checking the local database).
I have followed following post but did not get any fruitful result.
Via call kit: how to get the incoming call number by using callkit
True caller app already added that feature:
https://blog.truecaller.com/2016/10/26/truecaller-now-available-on-ios-10/
I think it is possible, can anyone help me by giving some idea or source code by which that can be achieved?
It is not possible to get caller's number when user receives a call. Truecaller has a lot of conditions for it to be able to show caller's details. The truecaller app should be active. The caller should call using the truecaller app. Both the calling and call receiving devices should be connected to the internet.
So what it basically does is that when a user presses the call button on the app to call somebody, they simply send him a notification that this person is calling you. It has nothing to do with CallKit and the caller id is not displayed on the call receiving screen.

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.

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.
