Question

I have this code snippet,

NSString *number = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel://%@", phoneNumber];
    NSLog(@"%@", number);
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:number]];

NSLog output is,

2011-11-21 15:32:49.621 Tittle-Tattle[1743:707] tel://0413 883 245
2011-11-21 15:32:56.914 Tittle-Tattle[1743:707] tel://0413 873 245

Everything seems okay, However my application isn’t switching to Phone app and start calling this number. Any suggestion.

Thanks

The url string must be devoid of any empty spaces. Using your example the code would read:

NSString *number = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"tel://%@", phoneNumber] stringByReplacingOccurencesOfString:@" " withString:@""];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:number]];
