New line in emailBody not working in swift

Question

I have this code for showing some content in emailMessageBody. The code is given below.

var emailViewController : MFMailComposeViewController = MFMailComposeViewController()
        emailViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self
        emailViewController.setToRecipients(["----"])
        emailViewController.setSubject("----")
        emailViewController.setMessageBody("\n\n\n" + "-- \r\n " + "----- Device : \(self.deviceName), App Version : \(self.appVersion), Model : \(deviceModel) , iOS Version : \(self.deviceVersion), Country Code : \(self.countryCode), Localised Model : \(deviceLocalizedModel) \n \n \n", isHTML: true)
        self.presentViewController(emailViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

You guys see that i put "\n" in the content, but its not showing new lines in the emailBody. If anyone know how to get some new lines in emailMessageBody, Please help.

Use <\br>, because email body is in HTML format and in html you have to use <br> to break a line. – Electrotherapeutics

@Kampai Oh God. How could i forget about that.// – Disillusionize

You need to add a tag <br> this. Not \br. – Electrotherapeutics

Answer 1

You need to use </br> instead of \n

So your example code will look like the following

var emailViewController : MFMailComposeViewController = MFMailComposeViewController()
    emailViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self
    emailViewController.setToRecipients(["----"])
    emailViewController.setSubject("----")
    emailViewController.setMessageBody("</br></br></br>" + "-- </br> " + "----- Device : \(self.deviceName), App Version : \(self.appVersion), Model : \(deviceModel) , iOS Version : \(self.deviceVersion), Country Code : \(self.countryCode), Localised Model : \(deviceLocalizedModel) </br></br></br>", isHTML: true)
    self.presentViewController(emailViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

If this code answers the question, consider adding adding some text explaining the code in your answer.

Answer 2

If you want to use \n you have to set the parameter isHTML to false in the setMessageBody call, otherwise you must use </br> instead of \n when you set the content for the message body.
