We’ve observed that a number of people are trying to make their application visit external sites, send mail, and dial telephone numbers.
We’ve responded by providing new functionality that does just this!
Step 1
Make a button that you’ll designate to make a call/ send a mail when pressed
Step 2
Select the button. Go to the ‘actions‘ section of the inspector, and drag the ‘Touch Down‘ action responder
Select ‘Go to URL’ from the list of provided options
Step 3
You should see that you can now enter a value into the touch down action.
- To leave your application and go to an external url, enter a value of the form
http://www.yoursite.com - To make a phone call, enter a value of the form
tel: - To send an email, enter a value of the form
