Xcode iOS：从应用程序拨打电话

Question

I across the following code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://8005551212"]];

on : Making phone calls on iPhone

But, it does not work for me in the simulator. I have connected the IBAction(callphone) to the ViewController(TouchUpInside). I am now not sure, is it because I am checking my code in simulator? I do not get a dialog box. Please advice.

I tried putting log statements and the action does get called since the log stamtments that I wrote to test is being printed

Answer 1

Can you make a phone call from your Mac? No. That's why the simulator doesn't work when you try to open a tel:// URL. You must do this from a device that can make a call: an iPhone, but not an iPad or iPod touch.
