Specifically, from my app I'd like to open the Messages app and activate my iMessage extension with:

  1. an existing MSConversation (via the remote participant UUID?)
  2. a new MSConversation (via a CNContact?)
  3. a new MSConversation with no remote participant specified

There must be a way with UIApplication:openURL: ?

Or maybe with the MFMessageComposeViewController?

An Apple staffer on the Apple Dev forums replied: No, this is not currently possible.

I filed a feature request as RADAR 27079838.

    That's a shame. It's already so many steps to find & use the iMessage extension. Would be nice to be able to launch it fro the main phone app – xta Nov 13 '16 at 19:17
