Hi,
I'm trying to send sms through applescript and since I've install high sierra it's doesn't work if I never communicate with the person.
But on Sierra it's working, does anybody have a idea why ?
Thanks you !
tell application "Messages"
send "test" to buddy "+336XXXXXXXX" of service "SMS"
end tell
tel
What error message are you receiving? Have you consulted the AppleScript Dictionary for Messages to see if it has changed allowed options for service to something more specific (e.g. Jabber/iMessage) than "SMS?"
Does it show any error when you run it?
Is your iPhone still connected to Messages in order to send an SMS message?
When I run the script, it sends an iMessage just fine. I don't have any SMS-only contacts I can test with right now.
I just tested a non-iPhone recipient and it seemed to work without problem.
I don't know what might be preventing yours from working.
Are you running it in Script Editor, or calling it from some other program?
Ok you never contact him before for your test ?
Yes, I have.
Did you create that person as a contact? If the person has never been contacted, they can't possibly be a "buddy."
They might have locked it down to prevent spamming with AppleScript.
I'm try a another way :
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Messages"
click menu item "Nouveau Message" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Fichier" of menu bar 1
activate
set outputString to "+33XXXXXXXXX"
set len to length of outputString
repeat with i from 1 to len
set x to character i of outputString
keystroke x
end repeat
end tell
But I don't manage to get focus on the first field to set the phone number and the message field
Other information when I execute the script :
in chat.db on the table handle I've have a new line is created, and on the table chat too but not on the table message.
I repeat if a already send a message to the person with messages.app when i use applescript the sms was sent.
It's only when I don't send a message before that the applescript doesn't
anybody know who I can contact to apple to help to resole this problem ?
thank for your help!
No error ! Just the window is activate but nothing else !
I didn’t know the existance of dictionary for message. Where i can found it ? Thank your for you help

Ok you never contact him before for your test ?
