From field missing in MFMailComposeViewController

Question

Is it possible to include the From field in a MFMailComposeViewController so that if a user has more than one account on their device they can choose which email account to send an email from?

Yes - I looked at that question but it is not asking exactly the same thing. There is another question that where the answer is 'Tap the From field' but my question is how you get the From field displayed. — RGriffiths, Jan 26 '15 at 16:16

There is no from field property. The user can select their email address inside the MFMailComposeViewController itself (while writing the email). Hard coding it in would be redundant. If a user has more than one email they can elect which one to choose from again, in the MFMailComposeViewController

That is what I want them to be able to do but when the email opens there is no From displayed. See updated question with image. – RGriffiths Jan 26 '15 at 19:03
@RichardGriffiths test it on a real device. Changes are if your using simulator you haven't set up an email account for it – soulshined Jan 26 '15 at 19:04
It is the same on my iPad – RGriffiths Jan 26 '15 at 19:06

None of these answers are correct. Tapping on the CC field does not make the from field show in my app. – johnrubythecat Jun 12 '19 at 17:48
The answer is right, it’s just how it works. You can reproduce in any native application with a simple share action test. Nothing in the documentation has changed to imply otherwise. You must have done something else or it’s circumstantial. For example, Xcode/SDK may be bugged or iOS beta version is bugged etc. @johnrubythecat – soulshined Jun 12 '19 at 17:58
Also, no default field shows up in the Mail settings in the Settings app. That's missing too. – johnrubythecat Jun 12 '19 at 18:20
Did you properly set up an email account on the device you’re trying to test on @johnrubythecat – soulshined Jun 12 '19 at 18:26
