How to make a phone call with a button

Hi, how do I make a button so that when it is pressed, it calls a phone number?

Found an answer in SO : h ttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/27259824/calling-a-phone-number-in-swift


private func callNumber(phoneNumber:String) {
  if let phoneCallURL = URL(string: "tel://\(phoneNumber)") {
    let application:UIApplication = UIApplication.shared
    if (application.canOpenURL(phoneCallURL)) {
        application.open(phoneCallURL, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    }
  }
}

You should be able to use callNumber("7178881234") to make a call.

What Claude31 said plus…

There’s some things you should be aware of:

  • iOS has some non-obvious restrictions on the specific

    tel:
    URLs you can use. See the Phone Links section of Apple URL Scheme Reference for details.
  • You shouldn’t build URLs via string interpolation but rather using

    URLComponents
    . This will take care of any escaping that might be necessary.

Anyone figure out how to bypass the action sheet? Is that possible? @eskimo @ilovecats516
