SMS trouble

[giomax]

Dear all, I'm a new iphone "developer", but not an ufficial one, just for fun.

I start develop an application that works on sms.db.
I want to enable the full delete of message sent by a fixed persons.

If I try to make a SELECT statement to message table all works fine.
Problems comes when I try to make a DELETE from the db, I get an "attempt to write a readonly database" error message.

I think that is a problem of permission on sms.db, there exist a method to lunch my application as "root user" to enable it on modify this file?
Any other ideas on how resolve this problem?

Cheers
Massimo

well if you're using the sdk to make your application then it definitely wont let you write/delete to sms.db

but if you're using the toolchain, try chmod'ing the sms.db to 777 or chroot'ing your application to root.

Yes I use the SDK, but I don't know what toolchain are.
Can you tell me more about it, or give me some link?

Thanks
