Has there been any response to the bug report? Any other knowledge about whether this is a bug (to be fixed) or permanent feature ?
I agree that two taps to place a call, or three taps (!!) if an app is using UIAlertView as noted by CodingBandit is a frustrating user experience and there must be a better way to mitigate risk of a single touch dial button. Some great suggestions in this thread.
The issue I am facing is this wipes out my ability to measure call duration, because I cannot extract from IOS how long the user sits there and stares at the system alert. They could look at it for 10 minutes, confirm and place a 1 minute call, my app will log an 11 minute phone call.
Can anyone suggest a fix for measuring call duration?
Perhaps a timestap or something of the system alert?
