I can successfully initiate a phone call within my app using the following:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@\"tel://12345678
I have given this answer in iPhone SDK: Launching an app after call ends I will also post my code here.. here you can make a call without closing you app..
-(IBAction) dialNumber:(id)sender{
NSString *aPhoneNo = [@"tel://" stringByAppendingString:[itsPhoneNoArray objectAtIndex:[sender tag]]] ; NSURL *url= [NSURL URLWithString:aPhoneNo];
NSURL *url= [NSURL URLWithString:aPhoneNo];
NSString *osVersion = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
if ([osVersion floatValue] >= 3.1) {
UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame];
[webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
webview.hidden = YES;
// Assume we are in a view controller and have access to self.view
[self.view addSubview:webview];
[webview release];
} else {
// On 3.0 and below, dial as usual
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: url];
}
}
