Message UI Framework Reference

The Message UI framework contains view controllers for presenting standard composition interfaces for things like email and SMS messages. You can use these interfaces from your own applications to incorporate the corresponding message delivery capabilities without requiring the user to leave your application.

The composition interface classes are standard view controllers. To display one of the interfaces, you present the corresponding view controller modally from your application. Once presented, the user has the option of customizing the email contents before sending or canceling the email. Your custom delegate object then handles the dismissal of the view controller at the appropriate time. For information about how to present and dismiss view controllers, see View Controller Programming Guide for iOS.
