MFMailComposeViewController error [MC] Filtering mail sheet accounts for bundle ID

Question

I do the standard functionality of sending messages with MFMailComposeViewController.

My code:

if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail()
{
    let mail = MFMailComposeViewController()
    mail.mailComposeDelegate = self
    mail.setToRecipients(["[email protected]"])
    mail.setSubject("Subject")
    mail.setMessageBody("Some Text", isHTML: false)
    self.presentViewController(mail, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Controller do not open and I see a message in the console that have never seen.

Answer 1

If a mail account has been set at the device where you try to test your application there is no problem. Please create a mail account.

Answer 2

For Swift 3.0.1 - 4.2 Compatible

if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail()
{
    let mail = MFMailComposeViewController()
    mail.mailComposeDelegate = self
    mail.setToRecipients(["[email protected]"])
    mail.setSubject("Subject")
    mail.setMessageBody("Some Text", isHTML: false)
    self.present(mail, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

I had the same error though it works perfectly on my device with iOS 10.1.1. I had a similar problem and found that the Mail Composer would only work on iOS 9 in the simulator, there is some sort of bug with iOS 10 and running Mail Composer on the simulator with my current knowledge.

Update I have also tested this with a device with iOS 11.4 and got the same results.

Tried these calls to open mail on the simulator and they did not work. Though work they work fine on a real device.

UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.present(mail, animated: true)
self.navigationController?.present(mail, animated: true, completion: nil)

Answer 3

Had the same problem. It was connected with presenter.

You need to present MFMailComposeViewController from UINavigationController. Try this:

self.navigationController.presentViewController(mail, animated: true, completion: nil)

It solved my problem.

Answer 4

If you check the value of MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail(), you will see that it is false. So that the code inside your if statement would not get executed. And to return true, you need to enable one email on your mobile phone.

Answer 5

You need to Login in 'Mail' App in order to present the Mail Composer.

Answer 6

For me this answer solved the problem. I had the same issue on a real device with active mail accounts and changed the presenting view controller to

        let mailComposeViewController = MFMailComposeViewController()
        mailComposeViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self
        mailComposeViewController.setToRecipients([address])
        mailComposeViewController.setMessageBody(message, isHTML: false)
        mailComposeViewController.setSubject(subject)


        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.present(mailComposeViewController, animated: true)

Answer 7

@IBAction func gmailButton(_ sender: UIButton){
    self.popUp()
}

func popUp(){
    guard MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() else {
        return
    }

    let composer = MFMailComposeViewController()
    composer.mailComposeDelegate = self
    composer.setToRecipients(["[email protected]"])
    composer.setSubject("succes")
    composer.setMessageBody("succes sent", isHTML: false)
    present(composer, animated: true)
}

First you have to log in to Gmail, after that this program can be used. don't forget use real device to try this
