Is it possible to call a phone number programmatically in iOS and send different DTMF tones during the call?.
Basically I want an App to handle the IVR call. I don't know anything about iOS programming. I just want to know the feasibility so that I will put further effort.
Thanks
You cannot do this interactively within the bounds of the iOS SDK (ie, in an App Store app).
You can, however, build a tel URL. See the Apple documentation on phone links for more details if you think this will work for your needs.

I have a bot that leverages all the cool tech that comes with botframework, e.g. LUIS, QnA maker, adaptivecards, etc. The bot works well and I can use WebChat to connect to and ask questions and get responses. However, I now need native iOS (and eventually Android) app that can perform much like webchat does but I do not want to embed webchat in a web control in native app. I plan to have voice always on leveraging something like snowboy or picovoice for hotword to wake app and send commands to bot - users would ask things like "hey bot what is weather in Boston" and get presented with result message or adaptivecard.
Is voice steaming to directline API from Swift on iOS possible (I know most things are possible so any pointers would be greatly appreciated)? Or am I approaching from wrong angle and perhaps there is better/easier way to achieve my goal?
I designed an application screen for incoming and outgoing calls, so now the issue is that I want to show my screens on while I get an incoming and outgoing call on the device so how can I do that.is that's possible so tell me how?
This is not possible.
You can not replace core features of iOS with your own app.
As MadProgrammer stated in his comment, CallKit allows you to use iOS call screen in your app. Not the other way around.
CallKit : Display the system-calling UI for your app's VoIP services, and coordinate your calling services with other apps and the system.
If you are using CallKit, its impossible so far to customize it or replace it.
You can do it, if your App has its own feature of Calling, say Many apps has WebRTC solutions or other VoIP Solutions.
I'm trying to get into a new project, by creating an iOS application. But before I start I would like to understand some points:
is it possible to let an application make a phone call? So what I mean is, assumed we have a phone number and would like to call it. Would it be possible to use an (my) application to call this number?
is it possible to let an application speak during a phone call? So after the application started the call, would it be possible that some predefined statements are said in the call?
is it possible that this application hears, registers and analyses what the other person on the phone line is saying? (Leaving apart the privacy issue, assuming that the other person is willing to do that).
Could you please help me? If my question aren't clear, please tell me, I will try to explain it in another way.
Many Thanks
F.P.
iOS is very restricted in terms of the system behaviors third party applications can influence.
To answer your question bluntly, a third party application could prompt the user to initiate a phone / FaceTime call. Once the call is initiated however, your app would enter a background state and relinquish control to the system. The app would not be able to contribute or read any data related to the system phone / FaceTime call.
iOS 10 introduces a VoIP extension, CallKit, which allows third party apps to use the built in calling UI with a custom protocol. You could implement your own protocol (and host servers for handling the exchange of information) and build an extension to make it feel like a system call. You'd be responsible for all aspects of the custom call protocol and thus reading voices, contributing audio, etc. would all be possible (and up to your implementation).
Outside of iOS 10, you would have to built your own VoIP system and interface entirely from scratch.

I want to develop application to show user video or image when someone is calling me. I know it is possible on android, but i don't know about ios platform. Is it possible to do such an application ?
Apps can only modify things within their own sandbox. The incoming call screen, is part of the phone app and therefore can't be modified. The only way to do this would be on a jailbroken iPhone, and it would be quite difficult.
Usecase:
my hotline has phone number 0815/111222333
user starts up dialer and dials that number
instead of calling my app starts up to offer him
service.
I did it on Android, though I am pretty sure this won't be allowed in iOS.
But I didn't find that explicit statement. I am just looking for confirmation.
It is most likely not possible on iOS. Event if it was I noted that there is a patent on this.
