How to programmatically launch Skype in Windows Phone?
c#, windows-phone-7
Solution
As of last October 2014, the 2.24 release support Skype Uri's, and you can now launch Skype on Windows Phone 8.1 with `skype://12345678?call` as uri (with `1234678` being the phone number)
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn745878(v=office.15).aspx for some documentation on the syntax.
(Disclaimer: I work on the Skype for Windows Phone team)
Problem
Putting directly: Assuming that I've Skype already installed in my OS, how can I launch a dialer from my app, with a given phone number passed as a parameter, from a Windows Phone? Thanks in advance.
