Using mobileComposeHtmlMail to send a PDF attachment works as expected under iOS 6
but under iOS 7 the email to be sent (in the iOS 7 mail app) has a small box with a question mark instead of the pdf attachment icon (I also tested a text attachment and that seems to display correctly)
There does not appear to be an error during the creation of the pdf and in some cases the mail client on the receiving end displays the pdf attachment. Unfortunately, on some mail clients the pdf fails to show up. I’m wondering if anyone else is seeing this or can suggest what I might be doing incorrectly.
< LC 6.6.1, 6.6.2 (rc 3) and 6.7 (dp 3) >
-- construct an attachment array
-- tFilePath is the path to a pdf
put empty into aAttachments -- init
set the itemDel to SLASH
put item -1 of tFilePath into tAttachmentName
set the itemDel to COMMA -- tidy
put tFilePath into aAttachments[1]["file"]
put "pdf" into aAttachments[1]["type"]
put tAttachmentName into aAttachments[1]["name"]
-- —————————————————————————————————————————
-- assume tSubject, tToAddress, tCC, tBCC, tBodyAsHTML were previously populated
-- —————————————————————————————————————————
-- send the e-mail
mobileComposeHtmlMail tSubject, tToAddress, tCC, tBCC, tBodyAsHTML, aAttachments
