Email composure iOS 8

Question

I'm trying to open email composure in iOS 8 from Xcode 6, but getting an error. The same code is working fine if I'm trying from Xcode 5. Later I downloaded a sample code from apple developer portal:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/MessageComposer/Introduction/Intro.html

But the result is same. Is there something, or some setting, I'm missing to optimise the code for Xcode 6

Here is the code: in my button action

MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];

picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;

[picker setSubject:@"Hello from California!"];

// Set up recipients
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"[email protected]"]; 
NSArray *ccRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"[email protected]", @"[email protected]", nil]; 
NSArray *bccRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"[email protected]"]; 

[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
[picker setCcRecipients:ccRecipients];  
[picker setBccRecipients:bccRecipients];

// Attach an image to the email
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"rainy" ofType:@"jpg"];
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
[picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:@"image/jpeg" fileName:@"rainy"];

// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = @"It is raining in sunny California!";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];

[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];

email delegate

self.feedbackMsg.hidden = NO;
// Notifies users about errors associated with the interface
switch (result)
{
    case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
        self.feedbackMsg.text = @"Result: Mail sending canceled";
        break;
    case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
        self.feedbackMsg.text = @"Result: Mail saved";
        break;
    case MFMailComposeResultSent:
        self.feedbackMsg.text = @"Result: Mail sent";
        break;
    case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
        self.feedbackMsg.text = @"Result: Mail sending failed";
        break;
    default:
        self.feedbackMsg.text = @"Result: Mail not sent";
        break;
}

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];

result:

email composure delegate disappearing automatically with result 0, i.e., MFMailComposeResultCancelled

with error codes : MessageComposer[10993:196902] viewServiceDidTerminateWithError: Error Domain=_UIViewServiceInterfaceErrorDomain Code=3 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (_UIViewServiceInterfaceErrorDomain error 3.)" UserInfo=0x7b93f7e0 {Message=Service Connection Interrupted}

What's the error? Show the relevant code in your question. – Lynettalynette

Again, what is the error? Which line? – Lynettalynette

See this question: #25605052 – Goff

@hoiberg42 you are correct, that are the error codes I am getting after the email composure controller dismissing itself. – Zacheryzack

I'm having the exact same issue, tried the globalMailer approach but it still does it. Mail view controller appears, gets stuck, and dismisses automatically. :/ – Mussolini

I just tested on a iOS 8 device and it seems that the globalMailer works. So it must be a Simulator issue... – Mussolini

@Vrasidas: yes this is true, its just the simulator issue, If you post the answer i'll accept it. – Zacheryzack

Answer 1

By the looks of it, this is a simulator-only issue. (iOS 8 simulator) The globalMailer approach works ok on devices.

If anyone encounters this problem, just test on a real device.

I had the issue in simulator only as well. Tested on the device through test flight and it was fine. – Pythagoras

if you do your test on a Simulator running iOS7.1 your code will work fine as well – Picardi

I have the same problem too on iOs simulator, but on real device is working fine :) – Klee

how can this still be going on? I get the same error for 9.1 and 9.0 on the simulator. – Sourdough
