iOS Making phone calls from code

[spiffers]

Im working on an app and I have to be able to make phone calls from within my app. I have googled it, but did not find anything. Maybe Im not searching for the right thing? Would love some pointers to how to make phone calls programmatically.

You use well documented tel: URL scheme. This will open the Phone app with the phone number entered. The user can then initiate the call or not. There is no alternate way to dial without user approval.

Answer

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] OpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel:%@",phoneNumber]]];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] [B][COLOR="Red"]OpenURL[/COLOR][/B]:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel:%@",phoneNumber]]];

Well, not exactly. Remember that Objective-C is case-sensitive and UIApplication has no OpenURL: instance method.

Did you copy it from working code?

Where did you get that code from?

 

[yaniv92648]

From my own code..

But somehow the o in openURL got bigger...
this is the right one:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] [COLOR="Red"]openURL[/COLOR]:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel:%@",phoneNumber]]];
