iOS 6 - ChatKit private API - send SMS

Has anyone managed yet to send an SMS from code without user interaction in iOS 6?

I think, the ChatKit private API has to be used to do this. However, it seems that Apple changed this API quite a lot in iOS 6. As a result, solutions like https://stackoverflow.com/a/11028230/1884907 don't work anymore on iOS 6 because of missing/changed classes.

(just in advance: yes, we all know that Apple rejects apps with private API, it's not for the app store)

From another StackOverflow post here: (Code from Kaushal Bisht)

// in .m file
-(void)textClicked

{


 controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];

 if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])

    {


       controller.body = @"Whatever you want";

   controller.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"", nil];

       controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;

       [self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
      }


   }

  - (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult)result

  {

  UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"MyApp" message:@"Unknown Error"
                                               delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];

switch (result) {
    case MessageComposeResultCancelled:
        NSLog(@"Cancelled");
        [alert show];
        break;
    case MessageComposeResultFailed:
        [alert show];

        break;
    case MessageComposeResultSent:

        break;
    default:
        break;
  }

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    }



// in .h file

 import MessageUI/MessageUI.h

You can't send SMS messages in the background though. I hope this helps.
