I can successfully initiate a phone call within my app using the following:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://123456789"]];

However, is it possible to automatically return back to the app once the phone call has been terminated? It seems this was not possible under iPhone OS 3.0 but I am hoping it is now possible under iOS 4.2 with multitasking (I wasn’t able to find any information on this question specific to iOS 4.2).

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    As far as I’m aware, because control is passed to the phone.app to make the call, once the call has ended, as far as iOS is concerned phone.app is the current app so that stays in the foreground.

    There doesn’t seem to be anything you can do about this at the moment. It might be worth putting in a feature request to allow for a “modal phone call” similar to MFMessageComposer that allows you to send emails/sms within your own app.

    EDIT

    You can follow the advice that Frin gives in the answer below as this contains more up to date information.
