React Native Send sms within the app

Question

I want to send sms to multiple numbers without opening to default messaging app. I try to use react-native-sms-x but its not maintained and my project just stuck at compiling. Also I used react-native-sms but it open default Messaging App filled with one user number and message body and had to click send button of it too.

Solution 1

import { Linking,Platform  } from "react-native";

    const url = (Platform.OS === 'android')
    ? 'sms:919999999999?body=your message'
    : 'sms:919999999999'
    Linking.canOpenURL(url).then(supported => {
      if (!supported) {
        console.log('Unsupported url: ' + url)
      } else {
        return Linking.openURL(url)
      }
    }).catch(err => console.error('An error occurred', err))

Solution 2

After a lot of research and trials in the react app... I have found this library working fine and reached the goals to send a message without going into the default message environment.

var phoneNumbers = {
        "addressList": ["[phone]", "[phone]"]
      };
    var message = "This is automated test message"
    SmsAndroid.autoSend(
        phoneNumbers,
        message,
        (fail) => {
            console.log('Failed with this error: ' + fail);
        },
        (success) => {
            console.log('SMS sent successfully');
        },
    );

I think it will open default sms app filled with given sms number and message.

This is the best library I've ever worked, just to ask your experience is it helped to you ?
