How can I make a call, as I recieve a push notification?

Question

I have developed an appointment application. When I receive a push notification, I want to make a call to a particular person, but right now it is just opening the application when I get a push notification.

How do I write a code to make a call to a particular appointment as I get the push notification of that appointment?

Answer 1

Upon notification, open the dialer app with the given phone number. Note: this will initially launch your app, then quickly switch to the dialer.

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://5555555555"]];
}
