Till iOS8, I was able to open the FaceTime app from my App using the below code.

If I have the number, A call will be directly made, if it is nil, it would just open up FaceTime.

But since iOS8, in case of empty number, FaceTime don't open at all.

NSString *temp =@"facetime://";
        if(number && number.length>0){
            temp = [temp stringByAppendingString:number];
        }
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:temp]];

iOS accepts the following URL:

facetime://14085551234 
facetime://user@example.com

According to their FaceTime Links.

If FaceTime doesn't launch with empty number, it may just be their way of cleaning up old code.

  • Similar issues when using an anchor tag - the app opens, but the number/email to be called is not passed to the app. Thoughts? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27749122/apple-facetime-url-scheme-not-initiating-call – Zephyr Mays Jan 06 '15 at 18:37
