How to receive sms on my ios app (workaround)?

I know i can't access the sms database of a ios device, but there's no workaround to achieve the same task using other tools?

My app must send an sms (which i do presenting the regular view of the ui message framework and asking the user to send it) and then receive a reply sms. There's no way to receive this sms? There are online service or whatever can help me to do this?

No, the situation has not changed in recent years: there is no way to read any SMS (except if you're on a jailbroken device).

But one thing you can do is embed an URL in your reply SMS that the user needs to tap. You can then use an URL handler in your app to handle these. Like:

myapp://smsreceived?id=123&result=456

There's plenty of documentation on how to implement URL handlers.
