manage sms.db

[teog]

Hi All,

I'll try to access to SMS.db to read sms (only read mode) inside my application (jaylbreacked Iphone 2.2).

I'm using sqlite3 library to access to SMS.db.

To test my app I was copyed (by ssh access) sms.db in a bundle “documents” directory and then i can access sucesfully to the DB.

But, when I try to access direct to /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db to open DB it could be not possible, because sqlite3_open return not OK !!?? (insuffcients permissions !?)

….

NSString *path = @”/var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db”;
// Open the database. The database was prepared outside the application.
if (sqlite3_open([path UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK

…..

Inside my application I had try, at startup, to copy sms.db in a bundle directory, and then access locally to it, but Filesystem “copy” operations return error to open original file….

any ideas?

-is it possible run application as root?
-how can I manage sms.db?
-applications as bitesms how can access to sms subsystem?

BR
Thanks!!!

hi teog. did u find any way to resolve this. i have the same issue. it seems that the /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db is not accessible. the sqlite_open always returns no, if (sqlite3_open([path UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK always returns NO.
