Dial not working on iOS with TNS v5.3.1 about nativescript-phone HOT 4 CLOSED

If you're like me and hitting your head for a while over this one and using the Apple SimulatorApp, keep in mind that the Simulator does not contain a SIM card and will not open tel or telprompt links (which is what nativescript-phone is using).

Try using it on a real iOS device with calling capabilities.

+1 The same problem.
The further investigation here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1981390/urlwithstring-returns-nil.

We need to encode a phone string before pass to dial method on ios.
We can use in our code encodeURIComponent(phoneNumber)

from nativescript-phone.

I am having issues with this as well.

Current versions:

• TNS cli 5.3.0
• tns-ios v5.3.1
• nativescript-phone 1.4.0

It is throwing this error in the device logs when passing a phone number into the dial method:

-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "(null)" - error: "Invalid input URL"

The phone number I am passing in is in this format (111) 111-1111, which was working with a previous version. After changing the format to 111-111-1111 the error is not thrown and I am prompted with the dial window. I running this on a real iOS device.

I have the same problem.

Versions:

• TNS cli 5.4.2
• tns-core-modules 5.4.3
• tns-ios 5.4.2
• nativescript-phone 1.4.0

I see this error in console (I am testing from real iOS device):
-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "(null)" - error: "Invalid input URL"

The phone number is: 014445555
