CallKit for regular calls

andersv at July 1st, 2019 08:25 — #1

Hi!

I am a software developer and I noticed that one of your coworkers (Elano Vasconcelos) has written a blog post about detecting calls with CallKit.

I would like to use CallKit to extract the contact name of incoming callers (from normal phone calls), and noticed that the CXCallUpdate class contains the property localizedCallerName. Do you know if the class CXCallUpdate is connected to regular calls, and not only VoIP calls?

Hi,

I never tried to get the name of an incoming caller. I used CXCallDirectoryProvider to give names of unknown numbers. I know that you can use CallKit with regular calls, so maybe it's possible to use it for what you want.

I hope that you can manager to do what you want. You could try to post this question on the apple dev forum or, if you are have an active Apple dev account, you can request help from an Apple Engineer.
