Hi there how to make phone number and url intent handler in KMM

This sounds platform-specific, "intent" is an Android thing, not KMM. Can you tell us a bit more about what you are trying to achieve / how's your app structured? I'm curious because you are asking specifically about intents...

When user clicks on number we should open dialer
Also when clicks on URL we need to open in default phone browser

But what do you use for this UI that it is cross-platform?

I mean - there are multiple ways how to do this - UI in some cross-platform toolkit, or separate UI for Android or iOS, etc.

If I'm not mistaken, with Compose, you have to do this the platform specific way on iOS - so you need to abstract the dialing functionality and do separate Android and iOS implementation.

We are working on much tighter Android-alike API for KMM here: <https://crossoid.com/> that directly has Intent and stuff, but not sure if you are interested in a commercial solution.

<https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplication/1648685-open> is I believe what you want to use on iOS

If you just need a url handler you can do this.
```  val uriHandler = LocalUriHandler.current

  LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    uriHandler.openUri("tel:9999999999")
  }```

in Android it worked but in iOS, its not working

The `tel:` schema doesn't work on an ios simulator but works on the actual device.

just figured out thanks <@UT15X24SY> it really helpful :pray:

```expect class PhoneDialer() {
    fun dialNumber(phoneNumber: Number)
    fun openURL(url: String)

}```

```actual class PhoneDialer actual constructor() : KoinComponent {
    private val context: Context by inject&lt;Context&gt;()
    actual fun dialNumber(phoneNumber: Number) {
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL).apply {
            data = Uri.parse("tel:$phoneNumber")
        }
        context.startActivity(intent)
    }

    actual fun openURL(url: String) {

    }

}```


```actual class PhoneDialer actual constructor() {

    actual fun dialNumber(phoneNumber: Number) {
        val phoneURL = NSURL(string = "tel://$phoneNumber")
        if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.canOpenURL(phoneURL)) {
            UIApplication.sharedApplication.openURL(phoneURL)
        } else {
            println("Cannot open dialer")
        }
    }

    actual fun openURL(url: String) {
        val webURL = NSURL(string = url)
        if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.canOpenURL(webURL)) {
            UIApplication.sharedApplication.openURL(webURL)
        } else {
            println("Cannot open URL")
        }
    }
}```
I was about to write this
