iOS 7 phone-number link doesn't work when webpage is on the home screen

785 Views Asked by At

I have phone number links as +xx-xxx-xxxxxx on my webpage. In iOS 7 it works as long as it is viewed in mobile safari. As soon as I've added the webpage to my homescreen (standalone webapp-mode) the links don't work anymore. Has anyone an idea?

tel: links do no work in iOS fullscreen mode. This has been a known bug for a couple months now, and no fixes have been issued as of yet, and no statement has been made yet by Apple about the status of this (major) bug.
