I've implemented CallKit in our app. Calls our app makes are displayed in the native phone app's recents list.
When tapping an entry for our app in the recents list, our app is started. Is there a way to find out which number(/entry) was used to start our app? (openURL or something)
You'll want to implement application(application: UIApplication, continueUserActivity userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: ([AnyObject]?) -> Void) -> Bool
on the AppDelegate. For this particular action, userActivity
will have a interaction
property, with an intent
property that is an instance of INStartAudioCallIntent
(or INStartVideoCallIntent
if your app does video).
The intent object has an array of INPerson
contact objects on it, which can be used to determine information about what was dialed.
If your app doesn't load any contacts into the system, your calls are one-to-one (as opposed to group) and you just want access to the "dialed number", you'll probably find what you want at intent.contacts?.first?.personHandle?.value
.
Also note that you'll need to link and import the Intents
framework.
Update
The previous answer was only half-right. There are two ways of getting this information, and both should be implemented.
The continueUserActivity variant above will be called when an item in recents is tapped (or a contact is selected), and your app is already running.
However, if your app is not currently running, then it will be launched and continueUserActivity
will not be called. Instead, the system will invoke your AppDelegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
with a UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey.userActivityDictionary
, which can be used like:
if let activityOptions = launchOptions?[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey.userActivityDictionary] as? [String: AnyObject],
let activity = activityOptions["UIApplicationLaunchOptionsUserActivityKey"] as? NSUserActivity {
self.launchWithActivity(activity)
}
Once you have the NSUserActivity
instance, the behavior is the same as it is in continueUserActivity
Update Again
Per @vivek takrani in the comments below, it appears that continueUserActivity
may be called at all times, whether the app was previously open or not. I would test this on earlier versions of iOS 10 if you intend to support it, as I don't believe this was the case at the time this answer was written.
