You should look into the push notification API, it ends up being very
similar to SMS (e.g. small payloads) and is directly developer
accessible.

@ Jesse:
Yes the idea is to distribute the App through the AppStore, so I
guess I can't go any deeper.
The idea is that in the server there is gonna be a sms application
that will send the Authorization code to the registered iPhone that
is asking for it, then My app should take that access code and
connect to the server, its kinda a 2 step Login system. So if there
is gonna be an inpediment, then the sms app in the server will send
the sms with the Auth Code, then my iPhone will receive the sms, and
the sms app of the iPhone will say "Hey you I have a new sms", so
now that I have the code, I can just copy-paste it in the access
code of my app and do the second part of the authentication. (well
that is what its on my mind due that i can't get the data of the
incoming sms without leaving my iPhone app ).
I dunno how user friendly is to do such a authentication, as you can
see we are working with very critical data that requires a strong
authentication and data encryption , like a bank sort to speak.

Right, but you can register your own url schemes which will launch
your app and let it handle the data. I've assumed that the SMS
displaying framework will parse out such URLs, realize they are
registered and put the correct hotlink into the message to launch
your app.

The sms: URL on the iPhone only supports phone number, unless if
you're willing to go deep into the private API, but you couldn't
distribute your app into the App Store.
My advice is, better to install some kind of sms application or
gateway on your server, so your iPhone app could send the text into
the server, and the server will forward the message through sms.

Nop you didn\'t miss understood the question, I will have a look
at the
docs, because the idea is that once Im in my app, put the first
credentials,
then the server will send me an authorizaiton code, and the idea
is to don't
leave my app to get the data from the sms, but the app fetch the
data of the
incoming sms, but if you tell me that you think its not possible
to get
more automated than clicking the ">" arrow in the Iphone sms app
to launch
mine with the data in the url then Im kinda stuck... I will take
a look at
the docs and see what I find out.
I will let you know if something as you have been thinking about
doing the
same, if find a workaround.

If you're trying to use data which has been sms'ed to your user,
which is
something I've thought about doing before, the only way which I
thought it
could be done is to register your own url for the application
and then have
the sms you send include the data in a URL format, eg if your
app registered
URL is foobar you might have foobar://yourdatahere in the SMS. I
believe
that you'll then have the opportunity in the SMS screen to click
the ">"
arrow at the side of the screen and your app will launch with
that URL as
data and you can process it.
I don't think you can get any more automated than that. It also
relies on
you sending the data in a compatible format.
Not totally sure this is related to the
UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities
though, go hunt around the docs for url or 'phone:' and 'text:',
I think
those are a couple of the URLs that apple registers for stuff
and the
documentation is around there.
If I have misunderstood what you're asking .. sorry

Aha ok.. thanks.
I need to develop an iPhone app that fetches sms data form the
sender,
the data are access keys, so I was wondering if tis possible to
do such an
application.
I was reading the iPhone App programing Guide, and there is
something
interesting, I can register my app with some particular keys,
in my case,
"sms" into the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities, so I can
comunicate with teh
iPhone app that handles the sms, and fetch the data... am I
correct?
Thx

if your questions are Cocoa, Core Foundation etc related and
about
released software (ie not iPhone OS 3.1), ask away.
you can try the apple iphone dev forums too if you like (but I
dont
find them anywhere as nearly useful as this list)
