Call Us Error

Hi all, Before I start playing I wondered if anyone else is having the same issue with Call Us in 1.5. Added a Call Us screen, added the phone number. When testing in the simulator I get '~Error~' Tried recreating, adding spaces between area code and number, removing them, etc. No joy?

Havn't heard a Call Us issue in quite awhile. Probably something easy. The trick is figuring out what number it's trying to call. Does the console show any clues as to what number it's actually trying to call? The call method should be easy enough to find in the BT_viewControllerManager.m file (maybe typos but it's called something like that, in the BT_layout folder in Xcode.

It is calling the company number I am writing the app for (school) 01642.... The debug screen does say Launching dialer.... It could well be the simulator I guess. Not sure how else I could test it (not currently an iPhone user so dont have a test device). Not to worry, whats the worst that can happen... (rejection? again? I can't take it any more!)

Not sure how, but you can install your app on to 100 devices if you're iOS developer.

Just added a call us screen in BTv1.5 Android and it worked no problem. Don't have a mac so can't test it on iOS, but given the lack of inquiries from other BT iOS developers, I'd suspect the problem's on your end. I'd first check for simple errors, one's we commonly overlook because their so simple we never make them kind of errors. If that doesn't turns up the error ask another BT iOS developer to use the screen to see if the error is duplicated.

You shouldn't have a problem on the device. Describe your problem.

Same problem here. I am adding a simple call us button (v1.5), keeping the sample phone number. On the simulator it shows the button but when pressed it gives an error message. I have tried changing the phone number and adding a call button on different pages - same result. Any thoughts please?

Yes, the simulator is not subscribed to a carrier (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, . . .) plus the simulator doesn't have the radio chip needed to make a call. Therefore the call screen will not work in the simulator. The call screen works fine in an actual app. If you have Skype you could try internet calling it should work. Fred
