ios - How to open mail app from Swift

Question

Im working on a simple swift app where the user inputs an email address and presses a button which opens the mail app, with the entered address in the address bar. I know how to do this in Objective-C, but I'm having trouble getting it to work in Swift.

Answer 1

You can use simple mailto: links in iOS to open the mail app.

let email = "[email protected]"
if let url = URL(string: "mailto:(email)") {
  if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url)
  } else {
    UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
  }    
}
