Unable to dismiss MFMailComposeViewController, delegate not called

Solution 1:

Make sure you use

controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;

and not

controller.delegate = self;

Solution 2:

Your method signature is incorrect:

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controllerdidFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error

Should be:

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error

Solution 3:

Refer this article for full implementation : http://www.ioscreator.com/tutorials/send-email-from-an-app

working code after making removing deprecated one :

#import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>

@interface SettingsTableViewController () <MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate, UITextFieldDelegate, UITextViewDelegate>

@end


@implementation SettingsTableViewController
// add default methods

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    NSInteger sectionNum = indexPath.section;
    NSInteger rowNum = indexPath.row;
    if (sectionNum == 2 && rowNum == 1) {
        MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
        controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
        if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
            [controller setSubject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Invitation to Northstar app"]];
            [controller setMessageBody:@" " isHTML:NO];
//            [controller setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[item objectForKey:@"email"]]];
            //presentViewController:animated:completion:
            [self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:NULL];
        }
    }
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{        
    NSLog (@"mail finished");
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}

@end
