I have a page with multiple UITextFields where a user can type in multiple contact numbers. When the send button is clicked it should send a preset text message to the contact numbers listed. I'm using Twilio to run this and I'm using the functions feature so that I don't have to create a separate server. The issue I'm having is that it doesn't send the message out when there is more than one number listed. How do I go about fixing it so that when a user keys in several numbers, it will send the preset message to those said numbers?

I have tried multiple times to fix it but it keeps failing

This is my code in swift:

    @IBOutlet weak var phonenumber: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var phonenumber1: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var phonenumber2: UITextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var phonenumber3: UITextField!

    var currentTextField: UITextField?

    private let contactPicker = CNContactPickerViewController()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        configureTextFields()
        configureTapGesture()

     }


    private func configureTextFields() {
        phonenumber.delegate = self
        phonenumber1.delegate = self
        phonenumber2.delegate = self
        phonenumber3.delegate = self

    }

    private func configureTapGesture(){
        let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(SelfTestTimer.handleTap))
        viewcontact.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)

    }

    @objc private func handleTap(){
        viewcontact.endEditing(true)

    }

    @IBAction func sendbutton(_ sender: Any) {

        presentAlert(alertTitle: "", alertMessage: "Make sure all the contacts have a country code attached to it ie +60", lastAction: UIAlertAction(title: "Continue", style: .default) { [weak self] _ in



        let headers = [
            "Content-Type": "//urlencoded"
        ]


        let parameters: Parameters = [
            "To": self?.currentTextField?.text ?? "", // if "To": is set to just one text field ie "To": self?.phonenumber1.text ?? "", the sms is sent

            "Body": "Tester",


        ]

        Alamofire.request("//path", method: .post, parameters: parameters, headers: headers).response { response in
            print(response)

        }
        }
    )}

}

extension SelfTestTimer: UITextFieldDelegate {
    func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
        currentTextField = nil
        textField.resignFirstResponder()
        return true
    }


    func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {


        if textField.hasText{
            //dont do anything

        }else{
        currentTextField = textField
        contactPicker.delegate = self
        self.present(contactPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
        return
    }


}

This is the code in my Twilio function:

exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
    const client = context.getTwilioClient();
    const to = event.To;
    const body = event.Body;
    client.messages.create({
      from: 'Twilio Phone Number',
      to: to,
      body: body,

    }).then(msg => {
      callback(null);
    });

};

I would like it to work so that it sends a message to all the numbers listed in the UITextFields

Twilio developer evangelist here. In the sendButton function, I'd make an array of the phone numbers from the textboxes like this with a global variable numArray:

numArray = [phonenumber.text!, phonenumber1.text!, phonenumber2.text!, phonenumber3.text!]

Then in that same sendButton function, I'd use urlSession to send a POST request to your Twilio Function URL.

let Url = String(format: "REPLACE-WITH-YOUR-TWILIO-FUNCTION-URL")
        guard let serviceUrl = URL(string: Url) else { return }
        var request = URLRequest(url: serviceUrl)
        request.httpMethod = "POST"
        request.setValue("Application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
        guard let httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: numArray, options:[]) else {
            return
        }
        request.httpBody = httpBody

        let session = URLSession.shared
        session.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
            if let response = response {
                print(response)
            }
            if let data = data {
                do {
                    let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.allowFragments)
                    print("json ", json)
                } catch {
                    print(error)
                }
            }
        }.resume()

Then, your Twilio Function should contain code like this to loop through the array of phone numbers and message each number:

exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
    const client = context.getTwilioClient();
    var nums = [event[0], event[1], event[2], event[3]]; //hardcoded for 4 textboxes
    nums.forEach(function(arrayNum) {
        client.messages.create({
            to: arrayNum,
            from: "REPLACE-WITH-YOUR-TWILIO-NUMBER",
            body: "REPLACE WITH YOUR MESSAGE/WHATEVER MESSAGE YOU WANT!"
        }).then(msg => {
            callback(null, msg.sid);
        }).catch(err => callback(err));
    });
};

Hope this helps!
