Posted on by Jason_Hough 119

Hi there

I am testing a button that has this code onSelect :

 

Launch("tel:01162102020")

 

That should call the user , but this doesnt work on an Iphone7. It just launchs Safari and doesnt do anything.

Any help would be brilliant.

    Hi @Jason_Hough,

     

    I have reproduced this issue on my iPhone6 too. The same app works for Android. I will try to involve pg to look into this issue. Thanks for your report.

     

    Regards,

    Mona

    Hi @Jason_Hough,

     

    Just saw another thread talking about the similar issue and it seems that pg has already known this and is working on a fix.

    I have got it to work...

    I have used tel:// instead of tel:

    Please check but this is the solution.
