I've read posts that say the the `MFMailComposeViewController should display your attached PDF if its a 1 page document but for some reason my PDF is always showing up as just an icon. I want it to display the PDF since its only 1 page. The PDF seems to be fine since I can send the email and I can open it in the mail app or on my computer.
Is this not enabled by default in iOS 6.0 or later or is there something im missing?
MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
// create the message body.
NSMutableString *body = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
// add the user name to the email body.
[body appendFormat:#"Name: %#", userName];
// add the pdf to the email.
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
[controller addAttachmentData:data mimeType:#"application/pdf"
fileName:#"test.pdf"
includeExtension:YES]];
// add the body string to the email body.
[controller setMessageBody:body isHTML:NO];
// show the email controller.
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];

I'm working on a project that has a feature to edit data in a UITextView and then email the text in that UITextView in an RTF file format. I got everything to work, and even being able to attach the data and send it via email. The problem comes when I try to download the file and open it on my computer, it says "The document could not be opened". However, when I use the Gmail preview, I can see that the text is in the file.
So I'm wondering if there is a settings or option that I am missing in my code to "complete" the RTF file? Or if there is a more proper way than how I am doing it. Here's what I'm doing:
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"EMAIL TEST"];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = #"Send RTF";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
NSData *dataString = [[myTextView text] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[picker addAttachmentData:dataString mimeType:#"text/rtf" fileName:#"rtfFileName"];
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
I understand that I can use the mimeType "text/plain", which creates a text file that I am able to open when I email it to myself. But I would like to have an RTF file instead. Thanks for looking and responding!
You don't actually have any RTF to attach to the email. The text property of a text view is simply plain text.
You need to convert the text view's attributedText to RTF. This can be done as follows:
NSAttributedString *attrStr = myTextView.attributedText;
NSError *error = nil
NSData *data = [attrStr dataFromRange: NSMakeRange(location: 0, length: attrStr.length]) documentAttributes:#{ NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSRTFTextDocumentType } error: &error];
if (data) {
[picker addAttachmentData:data mimeType:#"text/rtf" fileName:#"rtfFileName"];
} else {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}
I have an iOS app that should allow the user to select a pdf file and send it via there email account, I have the below code that presents the user with the email and shows the pdf attached, however with the email is send the pdf is not attached to the received email.
-(void)displayComposerSheet
{
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"Public Holidays"];
NSString *plistFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:currentCountry ofType:#"pdf"];
NSData *myData = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsAtPath:plistFilePath];
[picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:#"application/pdf" fileName:currentCountry];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = #"Attached to this email is the PDF bought";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
Code is correct. You should check the filename. Is it a valid string(filename). Also presentModalViewController is deprecated. You should use presentViewController:animated:completion. Check this on device, not on simulator.
I am facing a problem when multiple recipients for my mail, i have two attachments there by default.Is there anything i have to do when iam sending a mail to multiple recipients other than the below code; (I have to select or type recipient id's from UI)
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
[self printPdfAndCsv];// code to generate pdf & csv
MFMailComposeViewController* mailComposer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailComposer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
// attaching PDF File.
[mailComposer addAttachmentData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:self.pdfFilePath]
mimeType:#"Application/pdf" fileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"pdfName-%#.pdf", selectedProjectName ]];
// attaching CSV File.
[mailComposer addAttachmentData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:self.csvFilePath]
mimeType:#"text/csv" fileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"csvName-%#.csv", selectedProjectName ]];
[self presentViewController:mailComposer animated:YES completion:nil];
}
Iam a starter in iPhone development, so i need your valuable help.
Try this
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"abc#gmail.com",#"xyz#gmail.com",nil];
[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
If you want to sent mail to multiple user then you can use:
[mailController setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"email#address.com",#"email1#address.com",#"email#address.com",nil]];
I got a solution from rmaddy on his comment,
There may be problem with one of the email addresses we tested.
Maybe the email ended up appearing as junk mail (spam).
Once the user taps Send, it's out of our control.
(and in my case; i found the mails that i have sent were in spam box)
I am using PassSlot which creates a Pass on the fly that can be added to passbook. I am trying to get it downloaded to the device to allow attaching to an email. Here is what I have so far:
[PassSlot passFromTemplateWithName:#"LoveCouponCards" withValues:values pass:^(PSPass *pass) {
[PassSlot downloadPass:pass pass:^(PSPass *pass) {
PKPass *pkpass = [pass performSelector:#selector(pass)];
NSLog(#"Pass: %#", pkpass);
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"friend#example.com"];
[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
[picker addAttachmentData:pkpass mimeType:#"application/vnd.apple.pkpass" fileName:#"HI"];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = \\
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];
}];
}];
The issue is that in the addAttachment part for the email, it throws an error that NSData can't relate to PKPass basically. How can I get pass converted to NSData so I can attach it?
UPDATE:
I tried doing
NSURL *url = pkpass.passURL;
NSData *so = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
and then putting 'so' as the addAttachment, but it attached nothing to the email.
Firstly, the passURL property of PKPass doesn't quite work the way you think. It is not a URL to the pass itself. It is a URL that opens up the Passbook app and loads up that requested pass.
You can create a PKPass with NSData, but you can't reverse that process. It sounds as if you are trying to get a pass on device, and then e-mail it. That's not allowed - if it was, people could easily copy and distribute passes around (which isn't necessarily a good thing).
If you want to e-mail a user a pass you need to do it server, rather than client side. I'm afraid that what you're trying to do isn't possible using PassKit. Sorry!
Unfortunately the PassKit library does not provide a way to get back the NSData from a PKPass.
We already provide an API call that allows you to get the raw data of a pass.
We will extend our PassSlot SDK with a method that allows you to get the NSData without having the manually call this API method.
Update
The new SDK version 0.5 is now released. You can attach the pass with the following code:
[PassSlot passFromTemplateWithName:#"LoveCouponCards" withValues:values pass:^(PSPass *pass) {
[PassSlot downloadPass:pass pass:^(PSPass *pass) {
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setToRecipients:#[#"friend#example.com"]];
[picker addAttachmentData:pass.data mimeType:#"application/vnd.apple.pkpass" fileName:#"LoveCouponCard.pkpass"];
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];
}];
}];
At the moment I have a NSArray of emails, and I open a view to end an email to all of these emails:
MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mailer setSubject:#"App Support"];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithArray:emails];
[mailer setToRecipients:toRecipients];
NSString *emailBody = #"";
[mailer setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
// only for iPad
mailer.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl;
[self presentModalViewController:mailer animated:YES];
Is there a way to send an email to this list without opening actually opening the controller (the user won't need to press on the send button and can't change the message)??
There's no way to send the message using the MFMailComposeViewController.
If you want to send an email "silently", I have previously used SKPSMTPMessage - an SMTP client that can be used on iOS to send emails without any UI.
You can set up a Gmail account specifically for the purpose of sending the messages if required.
I've created a simple demo for you. Download it here. Note that, along with the files in the SMTP folder, you will need to link to the CFNetwork.framework in your project.
