iSMS 1.0 RC1 source code is NOW available !

- 03/24/2008 - A kind remind. iSMS source code is released under GPLv2, if you used any of my code in your own cute app, please release your source as well and keep my credit in your apps, thanks.

- 03/03/2008 - Wanna to know how iSMS hook up the SMS notification and take over apple's default SMS applicatio ? Check out the latest source code in the download section for all the secrets!(BTW, please forgive me for the ugly code, it's just a PoC to me for SMS hacking).

No one donated money to me yet(Thank you Anthony, you're the first one who donated!), so I don't know how many people will donate their money or effort on improving this application, let's pray and see. But I think at least it could benefit those guys who want to know the secret of UIKit programming. In deed there're no secrets but just put your time into it and that's all. To me it killed most of my sparetime since 2007/10(BTW, I have no idea about Apple before :).

Good luck and have fun geeks!

• Now will use the system UI components to display the recipients. More apple-ish!
• Save to draft
• Template customization
• Simple but True SMS BlackList, yes it's true! No pop up, no daemon! and message will be deleted silently.
• Will remove the 1000 message capacity limit.
