Is there a way to make a hidden call from an iOS app through the telprompt URL scheme?

I can make a phone call with this code:

if let url = URL(string: "telprompt://\(number)"), UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}

Now I want to make a phone call with hidden phone number, so I would add #31# but then url is not, and the canOpenURL function is not even called.

if let url = URL(string: "telprompt://#31#\(number)"), UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}

tel:// scheme responds the same, and I don't want to go in the system settings and change it there, as it would hide my number on every call I make.

Any idea?

  • Have you tried url-encoding the # ?

    "telprompt://%2331%23\(number)"
