Send SMS without opening default messaging app #18375

mammadkoma commented 10 months ago

Description

I would like to send SMS by C# code without opening default messaging app.

Public API Changes

ISms

Intended Use-Case

Sending SMS in backgroud in single mode and multi sms with try catch and get count of sending

I do not believe this is possible on iOS and I think for Android you have to mark the app as a default SMS app.

For this it may be better to use a SMS service and use their REST APIs to send messages.

I did it in flutter and sms sent correctly on android phone : https://mwaseemaw.medium.com/flutter-send-sms-in-the-background-489672d139f8

That is just Android I think? This is the issue, only android supports it.

yes it can be done only on Android, and you need to specify the right permission. we have been using this plugin for Xamarin: https://github.com/cjlotz/Xamarin.Plugins https://github.com/cjlotz/Xamarin.Plugins/blob/327386dc20e502e6e75503d0dcd7eddb6b4e8be3/Messaging/Plugin.Messaging.Abstractions/ISmsTask.cs#L46

and it works fine, but now with .NET Maui we don't have an alternative.
