Answer 1

I have achieved this by encoding the ussd and pass it in the url and it works just fine

Here is an example:

extension String {
      /// Calling ussd number
      func callUSSD() {
          guard let urlString = self.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlHostAllowed) else { return }
          guard let url = URL(string: "tel://\(urlString)") else { return }
         UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:])
    }
}

Usage:

@IBAction func callTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
    "*1124#".callUSSD()        
}
