facetime:// url scheme

When trying to have my app open a facetime url (facetime://15555555555), it loads up a blank black screen. 

NSURL *facetimeURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"facetime://15555555555"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:facetimeURL];

Has anyone had any success with this?

Solution

  • just a heads up that this appears to have been fixed in IOS 4.1, we were having a similar issue in 4.0, but after upgrading to 4.1 - it started working.

    The line we used was:

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: @"facetime://5555555555"]];

    We didn't try with leading 1.
