UIApplication openURL with tel link does nothing but returns true

Question

UIApplication openURL with tel link does nothing but returns true

Since iOS8 UIApplication canOpenURL

returns true on my iPad, for tel:

urls. I wouldn't mind because technically the iPad can make a phone call, however ...

When I call UIApplication openURL

... nothing happens. The function returns true, no error. So I have a bad UX because my application now has a button that “does nothing” and I don’t know that it “did nothing”.

How do others deal with it?
