I'm trying to send SMS from my flutter app when a button is pressed. I'd like to do this without user interaction. I know i can launch the SMS app using url_launcher.

I tried using the sms package from pub but flutter says the api is outdated.

I'd like to do this purely in dart if possible.

dart flutter

I'm using the package sms_maintained. refer to package for latest version.

Code sample from package.

import 'package:sms/sms.dart';

void main() {
  SmsSender sender = new SmsSender();
  String address = someAddress();
  ...
  sender.sendSms(new SmsMessage(address, 'Hello flutter!'));
}

I't provides other methods as well.

Querying, filtering, contact info, receiving and deleting as well.

For sending the a sms you'd need the necessary permissions.

  • SEND_SMS

And for other functionalities.

  • RECEIVE_SMS

  • READ_SMS

  • READ_CONTACTS

An extensive list of them are located here.

flutter AndroidManifest.xml is location => android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

EDIT #:

The package is no longer maintained. you may manually link to files from this repo

pubspec.yaml

dependencies:

  sms_maintained:
