Requirements

  • Xcode 10.0+
  • iOS 8.0+
  • Swift 4.2+

Installation

CocoaPods

The preferred installation method is with CocoaPods. Add the following to your Podfile:

pod 'SupportEmail', '~> 2.3.0'

Usage

Due to how MFMailComposeViewController works, you must retain a reference to SupportEmail outside of where you are sending the email.

var supportEmail: SupportEmail?

Using SupportEmail is really simple and has just one method. send will allow you to craft the email and handle the end result:

supportEmail = SupportEmail()
supportEmail.send(to: ["[email protected]"], subject: "Support", from: self) { result, error in
    switch result {
    case .cancelled:
        print("Message cancelled")
    case .failed:
        print("Message failed")
    case .saved:
        print("Message saved")
    case .sent:
        print("Message sent")
    }
}

The send function takes 3 arguments:

  • An array of email address the support email should be sent to
  • The subject of the support email
  • The view controller the MFMailComposeViewController is to be presented on

Advanced

SupportEmail also supports providing custom arguments.

supportEmail.customFields = ["Pro Upgrade": "Yes"]

Customization

SupportEmail allows you to provide choose between sending a text file or just content in the email body. Defaults to sending as a text file. If you are sending as a text file you can also specify the file name.

supportEmail.sendAsTextFile = true
supportEmail.fileName = "Sample File Name"

SupportEmail allows you to provide a tintColor in order to customize the appearance of the navigation bar.

supportEmail.tintColor = .blue

SupportEmail allows you to provide a baseLocale in order to localize the system locale in the email. Defaults to en-US.
