------------------------------------
Summary: Calling phone numbers with the tel: URI scheme from JS
doesn't work
Key: CB-1213
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1213
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS
Affects Versions: Master
Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
Discussion: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/phonegap/w2E7WOnhgiw/discussion
Calling phones from Javascript (using window.location) and the tel: URI scheme
doesn't seem to be working on iPhone devices with apps packaged by PhoneGap
Build, so the issue must be in the PhoneGap framework.
They work alright when the app is loaded as a web app through Safari, but when
it runs as a native app (where the phonegap.js file is loaded), they don't work
anymore, no errors or alerts are displayed, it just doesn't do anything.
Here's the code I use:
function CallPhone(sPhoneNumber){
sPhoneNumber = sPhoneNumber.replace(/[^0-9]/g, "");
window.location = "tel:" + sPhoneNumber;
};
To try it out, just call the function when a button or link is clicked. I'm
using Sencha Touch v2 to develop the app. You can also try changing the URI
scheme to be "tel://" instead of just "tel:" but it will not work also. I'd
like to reiterate that this code works perfectly when opening the app through
Safari from a URL I uploaded the app to, but not when running it as a packaged
PhoneGap app (using PhoneGap Build).
