DESIGN: In my app, am using iMessage post option. Its works perfectly with one silly problem. Here is my code:
C#
if(!TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR){
        if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]){
            MFMessageComposeViewController *MFMsgPicker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
            MFMsgPicker.messageComposeDelegate = self;

            MFMsgPicker.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@""];   // your recipient number or self for testing
            MFMsgPicker.body = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Send from my app"];

            if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendAttachments]) {
                // data code for attachment here. worked perfectly. so removed it.

                NSLog(@"Attachments Can Be Sent.");

                [self presentViewController:MFMsgPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
            }
            else{
                [CommonMethods alertFromCommonMethods:@"Your device doesen't support the iMessage Attachment feature!"];
                [appDelegate stopProgressLoading];
            }
        }
        else{
            [CommonMethods alertFromCommonMethods:@"Your device doesen't support the iMessage send text feature!"];
            [appDelegate stopProgressLoading];
        }
}
else{
    [CommonMethods alertFromCommonMethods:@"Your device doesen't support the iMessage"];
    [appDelegate stopProgressLoading];
}


PROBLEM:

When my app re-direct to the iMessage, the recipient field always with text "Buddy Name, ". I can edit it but why its happening!. Not only in my device and my client also facing this. And my client wants to avoid that.


Tool:
* Xcode 5.1.1
* Tested in both iPhone and iPad with iOS 8, 7. Am not following iOS 6.

It looks like it is a default value bei Apple if using an empty string. (It is something else than nil)

MFMsgPicker.recipients = nil;


worked fine.

As always: if you dont need it - dont do it.

But why arent you giving some useful value to it?

Your code works. And "if you don't need it - dont do it" - Good philosophy!!!. Thanks.
For your question, we want no recipient value on that field by default. The user only fill it on manually.
Hi, I saw your query, and in my husband iPhone 13 pro phone I always keep seeing last mms(in iMessage)sent to “buddy name” but there is no contact exist with that name. Can u help?

This is not a solution to a problem and should not be posted as such.
And this is not a "tech support for Appal devices - try the Appal Store and the "genius bar".
