I need to modify an existing project. In this project there are several (many) places where the app sends an email with preset text within it. The used function is
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:emailString]];
Which obviously opens iOS Mail, ready to send the message.
Now I need to include links in the body of the messages. Is it possible to do it without switching to MFMailComposeViewController in all that places? How?
Have a look at this document – https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/Articles/MailLinks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007892-SW1
The short answer, yes, you can pre-populate the body of the message by adding a
bodyparameter to the URL (i.emailto:john@apple.com?body=This%20goes%20to%20body). Notice though, that the string has to be properly escaped, which you can do easily with the help of NSString’sstringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:I assume that any URL in the body that looks like a URL will be converted into a link by Mail app itself – not sure about that, test it out.
