iphone - Hacks to access iOS APIs through Flex? -


i building flex iphone application in ideal world need open iphone sms interface send texts, make calls, access phone information (such phone number) , access contact lists... realise there isn't in way of accessing phone specific api's through flex @ moment, know if or when coming?

my main question: seen interesting article on extending air access android apis , wondering if there similar accessing ios apis? people doing @ moment if need access ios apis? waiting update flex/air?

i'd prefer not splash out on mac!

thanks phil

you can use url syntax flex app open 'native' controls sending / receiving text messages. can somthing this:

navigatetourl(new urlrequest("sms:6175551212")) 

it's not perfect, , still not give access address book, though. add message text, can use body attribute url variable:

navigatetourl(new urlrequest("sms:6175551212?body=hello%20there")) 

(source body url variable)

air 2.5 tv has called actionscript extensions, allows write native code can used adobe air.

this blog post mentions "the sony tablet s2 use upcoming native extension feature in air 3".

so, perceive air 3 support same actionscript extensions on wider range of devices.

i believe people have immediate / important access air apis building native apps , not using adobe air.


my update 1/18/2011; air 3 has been released , indeed support native extensions on ios, android, osx, , windows pcs.
