I am developing an app in Swift for iPad that makes use of facetime.
I know Apple introduced App projection (described about 3/4 of way down page) (where one app can "project" itsself into another) in iOS 8. Is facetime capable of this, and if so, how do I access this functionality in swift?
If not, how does one use facetime from an app programatically otherwise? I found this question about the Swift API that explained how to do it in objective C. How do I adapt that code to work in swift? When I use it as written, I get the error "Expected ; seperator"
Barring the above two, is there any other or better ways to program facetime functionality for a swift app?
Thanks!
A bit more self-contained solution in Swift:
private func facetime(phoneNumber:String) {
if let facetimeURL:NSURL = NSURL(string: "facetime://\(phoneNumber)") {
let application:UIApplication = UIApplication.sharedApplication()
if (application.canOpenURL(facetimeURL)) {
application.openURL(facetimeURL);
}
}
}
Now, you should be able to use facetime("7178881234")
to make a facetime call.
