Send Programmatically Sms on Jailbreak Device

Send programmatically SMS on jailbreak device

Found out why - (BOOL)sendSMSWithText:(id)arg1 serviceCenter:(id)arg2 toAddress:(id)arg3; is not working since iOS 6.

This API is protected by the entitlement com.apple.CommCenter.Messages-send. Just sign your app with this entitlement set to true. It's much better than my another answer here (XPC method) because of the two main reasons:

1. sendSMSWithText tells you whethere message was sent successfully
2. Messages sent using sendSMSWithText are not being saved in the SMS database and can't be seen anywhere. On the other hand, messages sent using XPC method are being saved in SMS database and can be seen in Messages application.

So, win win. I strongly suggest dropping XPC method also because it's using pretty low level API that can change easily in new iOS version. sendSMSWithText can be found even in iOS 7 and I don't think it will be dropped any time soon.

UPDATE

In order to use this API on iOS 7 and above you need to add another entitlement with bool value set to true - com.apple.coretelephony.Identity.get.

IOS Jailbreak How do intercept SMS / Text Messages

This code snippet should intercept SMS messages- You can extend it for other kinds of notifications. Will work on iOS 5.0.1 as well. Does not work with iMessages though. Link with CoreTelephony framework (there are bunch of private headers there which you'd can class-dump)

#include <dlfcn.h>

#define CORETELPATH "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/CoreTelephony"
id(*CTTelephonyCenterGetDefault)();

void (*CTTelephonyCenterAddObserver) (id,id,CFNotificationCallback,NSString*,void*,int);


static void telephonyEventCallback(CFNotificationCenterRef center, void *observer, CFStringRef name, const void *object, CFDictionaryRef userInfo)
{
    NSString *notifyname=(NSString *)name;
    if ([notifyname isEqualToString:@"kCTMessageReceivedNotification"])//received SMS
    {
        NSLog(@" SMS Notification Received :kCTMessageReceivedNotification");
        // Do blocking here. 
    }
}

-(void) registerCallback {

 void *handle = dlopen(CORETELPATH, RTLD_LAZY);
    CTTelephonyCenterGetDefault = dlsym(handle, "CTTelephonyCenterGetDefault");
    CTTelephonyCenterAddObserver = dlsym(handle,"CTTelephonyCenterAddObserver");
    dlclose(handle);
    id ct = CTTelephonyCenterGetDefault();

    CTTelephonyCenterAddObserver(
                                 ct, 
                                 NULL, 
                                 telephonyEventCallback,
                                 NULL,
                                 NULL,
                                 CFNotificationSuspensionBehaviorDeliverImmediately);
}

Send sms programmatically on iphone

Here is a sample project sendspace.com/file/i6s6j7 Tested it on iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.4. There is one thing you need to take care of - "Run Script" build phase. This is where application is signed. I used codesign which will probably not work for you.

In case of a logos tweak you can't sign your tweak with any entitlements you want. Your code will use and is limited to entitlements of application your are hooking. If it's SpringBoard then it's SpringBoard's entitlements that lack com.apple.CommCenter.Messages-send. So for a SpringBoard tweak my solution with CTMessageCenter will not work. But XPC solution in my answer here will work. Unfortunately, SMS sent using XPC will show up in SMS database.

There are two possible solutions:

1. Daemon. You can sign it with any entitlements you want and do pretty much anything you want.
2. Write a tweak to another daemon just for SMS sending. Possible candidate - com.apple.imagent located in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IMCore.framework/imagent.app/imagent. It signed with all the entitlements we need for SMS sending which is obvious because this daemon deals with SMS on lower level. It observes incoming SMS notifications, XPC calls like in my answer and other Instant Messaging related stuff.

Send SMS programmatically without showing message controller

You can not send silent sms from app in iOS if you do these things then apple will reject your application this is not in apple guideline. if you want to do this you have to send it from a webserver using webservices.
