Email Composer not working for IOS 13+

[ocean999882]

Hello,

The add-on works perfectly with Android, but not with iOS. I've tried with two iphones, both have not installed gmail, only the pre-installed mail application. Is it mandatory to install another application? Or should the default mail application open?

Thank you.

Check in the info.plist if you have added the url scheme of mailer apps under LSApplicationQueriesSchemes, for example for iMail, gmail & outlook apps:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>mailto</string>
<string>googlegmail</string>
<string>ms-outlook</string>
</array>

The Default Mail App does not open on iOS 15. Should this work in the Simulator or do i have to use a real Device?

Yes, you should try in a physical device to be sure it is not a problem with the plugin. Furthermore some simulators don't even have an email account configured and thus it might not open.

Furthermore it may help to include this in config.xml under <platform name="ios">

    <edit-config target="UIFileSharingEnabled" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
      <true/>
    </edit-config>
    <edit-config target="LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
      <true/>
    </edit-config>
    <edit-config target="UISupportsDocumentBrowser" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
      <true/>
    </edit-config>
