Question

In iOS6 I am not able to make a call passing from UIWebView.

I use UIWebView because my app needs to come back after user close call, that is not possible using UIApplication method.

This the original code:

NSURL *telURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://%@", escapedPhoneNumber];
_PhoneCallWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] init];
[_PhoneCallWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:telURL]];

Why iOS won’t start a call?

NOTE: In all other iOS, starting from 3.1 to <6 works correctly.

Using [UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:telURL] it works but the app remain closed after call.

Answer 1

Are you sure you should be routing phone calls through a UIWebView?

I have no experience with this type of thing but maybe you could try using the NSURLConnection class? It has an instance method -initWithRequest:delegate:startImmediately: that might work in your case.
