I am looking for a way to integrate the emergency services on ios to a third-party app which is made with Flutter. So, instead of manually calling an emergency service by using a flutter package called url_launcher (which is able to send messages, phone calls, and emails), I would like to be able to use the phone's own built-in emergency sos feature instead.

Example of Emergency Service (SOS) on IOS Use Emergency SOS on your iPhone - Apple Support

When doing some research, I have found two forums on Apple Forums that are asking a similar question as to what I would want to do in my app: -

I was also looking into Apple's on the SDKs they have available where I have found SDKs and information on :

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I think a feature request is well worth the effort here. Clearly your app has specific needs, and I encourage you to describe those needs in detail within your request.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Thanks for filing.

I looked at your bug and it doesn’t contain much more than what’s in this thread. I encourage you to expand on that, giving specific details about the API you’d like to see and the circumstances until which you plan to deploy it.
