Ahoy matey! If ye be wantin' to show a mail compose view, ye best be usin' the MFMailComposeViewController from the MessageUI framework. Here be the steps to set sail:

  1. Import the MessageUI framework:

    import MessageUI
    
  2. Check if the device can send mail:

    if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() {
        let mailComposeViewController = MFMailComposeViewController()
        mailComposeViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self
    
        // Set the subject, recipients, and body of the email
        mailComposeViewController.setSubject("Subject")
        mailComposeViewController.setToRecipients(["example@example.com"])
        mailComposeViewController.setMessageBody("Body of the email", isHTML: false)
    
        // Present the mail compose view controller
        present(mailComposeViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    } else {
        // Show an error message if the device can't send mail
        print("This device cannot send email")
    }
    
  3. Implement the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate:

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

And thar ye have it! Ye'll be able to show a mail compose view in yer app. If ye be needin' more details, check out the Apple Developer Documentation. Arrr!
