🚀 Usage

Dart Example

import 'package:group_smskit/group_smskit.dart';

ElevatedButton(
    onPressed: () async {
        await requestSmsPermission();
        await SmsSender.sendSms(numbers: ['9876543210', '9123456789'], message: 'Hii...!!');
    },
    child: const Text(" SEND SMS"),

📱 Platform-specific Setup

Android

1. Permissions

Add this to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

2. Runtime Permissions

You must request SMS permission at runtime (Android 6.0+). Use permission_handler:

import 'package:permission_handler/permission_handler.dart';

await Permission.sms.request();

3. Real Device Required

SMS functionality must be tested on a real device, not an emulator.

---

iOS

1. Info.plist Setup

Add this to your ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app uses contacts to send SMS.</string>

2. Note:

On iOS, the plugin opens the default SMS composer. The user must manually press Send — direct sending is not allowed on iOS due to platform restrictions.

---

💡 Notes

• On Android, SMS is sent in the background using SmsManager.
• On iOS, the native composer UI is presented and must be submitted by the user.
• Always ensure permissions are granted before sending SMS.
