You need to create an application that will make a call to the specified number when you press a button in an application written in SWIFT. For example, in an ambulance. I have little experience in working with Swift, so I don’t know how to implement it. Are there any frameworks that allow you to do this or can this be solved by standard means?

    You can use standard tools for this. An example of a function to make a call:

    Swift 2.3:

    func callForHelp(number: String) { let url = NSURL(string: "tel://\(number)")! if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(url) { UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url) } }

    Swift 3:

     func callForHelp(_ number: String) { let url = URL(string: "tel://\(number)")! if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) { UIApplication.shared.openURL(url) } }
