The Gmail Api has no clear documentation on how to do this, I have been trying with this but there are many things that are in the air.
I have sought external source
I found the solution
class func sendEmail() {
var gtlMessage = GTLGmailMessage()
gtlMessage.raw = self.generateRawString()
let appd = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
let query = GTLQueryGmail.queryForUsersMessagesSendWithUploadParameters(nil)
query.message = gtlMessage
appd.service.executeQuery(query, completionHandler: { (ticket, response, error) -> Void in
println("ticket \(ticket)")
println("response \(response)")
println("error \(error)")
})
}
class func generateRawString() -> String {
var dateFormatter:NSDateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"; //RFC2822-Format
var todayString:String = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(NSDate())
var rawMessage = "" +
"Date: \(todayString)\r\n" +
"From: \r\n" +
"To: username \r\n" +
"Subject: Test send email\r\n\r\n" +
"Test body"
println("message \(rawMessage)")
return GTLEncodeWebSafeBase64(rawMessage.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding))
}
