How can I make a phone call with a button inside a custom UITableViewCell

Question

I want to create contacts app. How can I make a phone call with a button inside a custom UITableViewCell?

This is my code. It works only the first time when I press call button. When I NSLog it, it gives me a contact number. When I tap on the button, but don't show dialog box.

NSString *phoneStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"tel://%@",[contactNumbersArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section]]; 

NSLog(@"%@", [contactNumbersArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section]);

UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
[application openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: phoneStr] options:@{} completionHandler:nil];

I tried all ways just at the first time show dialog box when I press the cell. for other contacts not work. — Lanja Salahalddin, May 20 '18 at 21:59
Do not post code in comments. [Edit] your question. And that does not tell us the final value at runtime of `phoneStr`. Post the actual value of `phoneStr`. My guess is that it has spaces or other characters that are invalid in a URL. — rmaddy, May 20 '18 at 22:12
You still have not posted the actual value for `phoneStr`. What is its value when you call `[NSURL URLWithString: phoneStr]`? — rmaddy, May 20 '18 at 22:42
Its not only one number, for every cell of table view it has different number it's not like SOS or any emergency calling . Are you understand what I say ,sorry for my english is not good. — Lanja Salahalddin, May 21 '18 at 00:39

try using

  NSString *phNo = [contactNumbersArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
  NSURL *phoneUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString  stringWithFormat:@"telprompt:%@",phNo]];

   if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:phoneUrl]) {
       UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
       [application openURL:phoneUrl options:@{} completionHandler:nil];
   }
