Issue description
There seem to be an issue where the telephone links are automatically calling the number instead of prompting the user beforehand.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to Locations section of the app
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor : 'white', layout: 'vertical'});
var aWebView = Ti.UI.createWebView({
url: 'http://www.hdsupply.com/locations', top: 25, backgroundColor: 'gray',
});
aWebView.addEventListener('load', function(e) {
Ti.API.info('webview loaded: '+ e.url);
});
win.add(aWebView);
win.open();
- The locations section of the app has a webview. There you can see the html behind the tel: links. Click any tel number. No dialog box is displayed. Right screen of screen shoot attached.
- If you go to
http://www.hdspply.com/locations an iPhone using Safari and the tel: links are prompting me before making the call as they should. Left screen of Screen shoot attached.
Apple docs
"When a user taps a telephone link in a webpage, iOS displays an alert asking if the user really wants to dial the phone number and initiates dialing if the user accepts. When a user opens a URL with the tel scheme in a native app, iOS does not display an alert and initiates dialing without further prompting the user. However, a native app can be configured to display its own alert."
