sooooo, is your question "does iOS 6 support applications to register for SMS notifications?" or is it something else with SMS? – Costumier

Michael: It's about how to register for SMS notifications in iOS6 – Torhert

I also want to implement SMS notification and iMessage notification in my app. If someone have the solution please post the answer. – Lordsandladies

Answer 1

I believe that iOS 6 adds message (SMS and iMessage) notification support in the form of the Bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile).

So unless your intended usage involves you being connected via Bluetooth then you cannot use this feature of iOS6.

I do not think that it is possible to monitor the reception of incoming message with the Apple's Official iOS SDK since you would need to utilize a private framework, so you would need to make it a jail-broken app.

@Torhert I've tried to research this in the past, but have been unable to find an answer. Try posting it as another question. – Grounder
