Answer 1

I found a great solution from Hacking in Swift by Paul Hudson. In Swift 3, Add import MessageUI to the top of the file and make the class conform to MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate protocol.

func sendEmail() {
  if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() {
   let mail = MFMailComposeViewController()
   mail.mailComposeDelegate = self
   mail.setToRecipients(["example@example.com"])
   mail.setMessageBody("
You're so awesome!
", isHTML: true)

   present(mail, animated: true)
   } else {
   // show failure alert
  }
}

// MARK: MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate Conformance

func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController, didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult, error: Error?) {
    controller.dismiss(animated: true)
}
