How to make a call without built-in app?

Post by Sasha » Mon Jan 12, 2015 2:47 pm

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on the phone app for ios. I have used the following code to make a phone call

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
    launch url "tel:" && field "number"
    put the result into field "number"
end mouseUp
It calls through the built-in phone app, but i want to make a call without using the built-in in phone app. how can i do it ?

You can't!

LC does not support making phone calls, so the actual "phone" app will be opened with "launch URL "tel...".
And no, there are no workarounds!


Best
