Calling us screen

Here is my scenario: i open the call us screen and it will launch the native ios call screen. when i end the call it will go back to the number pad. Here is my question: is it possible for it to go back to the application that it was launched from? specs: iphone 4s 5.0 xcode 4.2 with 5.0 base sdk mac osx lion 1.7.2 early adopted

I do not know, since it goes to another app (Phone), it might not be possible to get back to your app.

Not possible. Apple and iOS operating system assume users undrstand how to operate their device. When a new app launches (in this case the native dialer app) then closes the previous app is in the multi-taskign tray. Users will need to use the home button to expose this tray then bring your app back to the forefront. There are a few hacks around this idea (because we all know how many folks don't get it and because we all know how much sweater it would be if our apps magically became active again) but Apple's major against it so it doesn't do much good to try to get around it. Sad face.
