Question by d34thst4lker · Jan 07, 2015 at 12:38 AM · androidiosmobilemessagessms

How to use Application.OpenUrl("sms") for multiple numbers?

I have been looking around how to send a message for mobile devices through the OpenUrl("sms:") method and can't seem to figure out how to send to multiple phone numbers... I am trying on an iPhone with iOS 8.1.2 and I'm currently using

 Application.OpenURL(string.Format("sms:{0}&body={1}", number, WWW.EscapeURL(message)));

Also, how can I get the message in there without using WWW.EscapeURL())? Every time I use t$$anonymous$$s it gives me a "+" in between each space. But if I remove the WWW.EscapeURL() then it doesn't start the message sending.

Thanks in advanced!

Try t$$anonymous$$s:

  Application.OpenURL(string.Format("sms:123,456?body=Hello"));

No, this still does not work. It only adds the first number to the recipient list

I'm right with d34thst4lker, it doesn't works for me too. Is anyone found a solution ?

I am not sure t$$anonymous$$s is possible by using the "sms:" URL scheme.

What you can do is implement t$$anonymous$$s as a plugin in native iOS code (check out the MFMessageComposeViewController class).

Here's a tutorial that shows the code needed to start the SMS app with the requested recipients: http://blog.mugunthkumar.com/coding/iphone-tutorial-how-to-send-in-app-sms/

If you require other platforms, you'll have to implement it for every platform your game has to run on.

Thanks for those links liortal. I took time to read it a bit and I switch to that one: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MessageUI/Reference/MFMessageComposeViewController_class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/MFMessageComposeViewController/recipients They says

If you want to provide an initial array of one or more recipients for a message, do so before you display it. After the message is displayed you cannot change the value of this property.

So I think that's possible, I just think that I'm not using the good way :)

What you think ?

I just found this that worked for me :

 "sms:/open?addresses=1-408-555-1212,1-408-555-2121,1-408-555-1221&body=/*message*/"
