Programmatically send an email in iOS?
Does the Indy component idSMTP work under iOS? I am trying to develop an iOS app that will periodically send an email as a notification of something. I'd like to also be able to send a text message, separately. But first things first: I've tried to populate the idSMTP properties and it compiles and deploys to my iPhone just find, but when I call the method to send the email, the app just hangs. I have to wonder if idSMTP and the rest of the Indy component, like some of the other components in FireMonkey, just aren't compatible with iOS? Does anyone know of a good way to send email programmatically? And on a side note, would there be some good documentation somewhere on all the components and classes and how to use them? Tutorials and examples are great, but they are usually limited in scope. Online help usually is very 'atomic' and doesn't explain how the various properties and methods interrelate. I miss the old days when Delphi came with thick "Developer's Guide" books that went into complete detail on how to use the various classes & components. (sigh) Nostalgia aside, can we send email programmatically from a Delphi iOS app? (Bonus for similar help in sending a programmatically generated SMS or text message) Thanks, Joseph

On which line of code exactly? Did you verify that your iPhone has TCP connectivity to the SMTP server you want to use? > I have to wonder if idSMTP and the rest of the Indy component, like some > of the other components in FireMonkey, just aren't compatible with iOS? Yes, Iny is compatible with iOS. Other people have already had success using TIdHTTP, TIdPOP3, and TIdIMAP on iOS, for instance. > And on a side note, would there be some good documentation somewhere > on all the components and classes and how to use them?

> > Doesn't iOS have its own APIs for sending emails and text messages using > the user's configured accounts? If it does then great! I'd love to use them. This would be much better than having the user put in settings for mail server, password, etc. So there must be Delphi wrappers to these API calls. Are there any docs on this, or perhaps an example? Can you point me to a particular library? And thank you for the other info in the reply. I didn't know that prior "TCP connectivity" was required. Obviously the mail server has to be reachable, but I don't see why it wouldn't be if there is wireless connectivity of any kind. I'll look into this. Thanks again, Joseph

This library has wrapped the required classes: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dpfdelphiios/ (Specifically MFMessageComposeViewController and MFMailComposeViewController) I don't think there's any demo for it, however I believe I could put one together. -- Dave Nottage [TeamB]
