My application need to send mail on background without display any mail compose screen so i got suggestion as skpsmtpmessage api .shall i use this api for my application and any apple rejection by using this api.I am new to ios application development so tell me the way to use third party api in applicatiion without apple rejection.can any one help me.
As Sudha and MarJamRob answered, your app can be rejected if you are sending mails in background but there is a workaround to this.
You can create a web method which takes the mail ids and content to be mailed as inputs and mails to the intended email ids. Call this method from within your iOS app with appropriate parameters. In this way you can fulfill your purpose without a risk of rejection as your app is not mailing in background but you are only giving a call to remote method!
You will get an Apple rejection for sending background e-mail without using the compose screen, or an in-app compose screen (g-mail).
Yes, your application will be rejected from apple because it is illegal to sending background email without display mail compose screen or without user interaction ...

We have multiple iOS apps live in Apple App Store. We want to receive email notification as soon as any critical event occur in our app. We are using Crashlytics SDK and it notifies us whenever the app crashes but there are other scenarios where we want to receive email notifications.
The only way to achieve this is making API call & from backend you can get email for particular event. Its because Apple doesn't allow to send email without opening the default Mail Picker.
Other options is, Integrate any third party analytics & using which you can do coding for registering the event. Then you will get that event registered at backend for your review.
Awesome third party analytics, Google Analytics, Flurry, MixPanel
Hope it helps.
Till now the best SDKs I've used are NewRelic & Segment both are awesome & different !! You should surely check them once. Easy to integrate and will show you everything you need from your app. This is just from my personal experience.
I've spent a great deal of time creating an Objective-C based application for the iPhone. I incorporated MailCore2 so that emails could be sent without a dialog popping up (Apple's system of in-app email). My app works perfectly on all of my devices, including all outside devices associated with TestFlight beta testing. Unfortunately, the moment Apple reviews the app, they always reject it, saying that MailCore2 made an AlertView with the contents: "Error! Please connect to the internet or try again later.", and the email never properly sends.
My question is, is there an alternative to MailCore2? I've heard of MailGun, but I see no documentation on their site for either Objective-C or Swift.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
Mailigun is a services and yes you can send mail with Mailgun, but not receive mail like normal email app. Anyway it is completely different from mailcore (Imap/pop). Mailcore is so hard to use...
If you need only send email i can provide you entirely code for achieve this using mailgun.
I am working on an app that can automatically send a message to some specific ones (either emails or SMS) under some dangerous circumstances.
When someone is in danger, he or she has no time to press the send button. Is it possible for the user to approve sending messages in the app in advance, so the app can automatically send emails or SMS to others without telling the user?
I searched in StackOverflow, but found no similar answers.
This is just for a demo. It does not need to be approved by Apple.
Thanks in advance!
Take a look at the ChatKit framework.
It uses iOS private APIs to do what you want to achieve. Don't try to submit it to Apple though.
With this framework, you can programmatically compose and send text messages through iMessage/SMS.
I know about x-callback-url, and how it's possible to e.g. send a string to an app in iOS.
But is it possible to do this the other way around, e.g is it possible for an iOS app to fetch the song currently playing in Music.app? Can an app fetch a message with a specific caller ID from Messages.app?
I believe, you need to have access to their API/backend to do that. Talking directly to another iOS app is not possible.
No, I'm not a crook ;) I want my app to read the content of an SMS that my gateway has sent, for device authorization.
register a scheme for your app. add a link with that scheme in your sms, with the registration code as uri-path. by clicking that should open your app and you can process the uri.
The iOS SDK class MFMailComposeViewController can be used to let the user compose an email message.
What I'd like to do, is for the iOS app to send an email in the background, with no user interaction. Is this at all possible/allowed in the iOS SDK?
Nope. There isn't any API available to do this. You'd need to roll your own SMTP client and have the user enter credentials into your application. On top of that Apple may not approve this.
Unfortunately, I don't think Apple would ever allow this because (for example) then you could just get everyone's email address by auto-sending mail to yourself. :(
I actually wanted to implement something like this for the express purpose of alerting me when a critical error happens on an app in the app market.
Best solution would be to create an API (just ping a php file or something), and have it send the relative alert message to your email).
