About In-App Calls Only on Appdome

Appdome is a no-code mobile integration platform as a service (iPaaS), supporting a wide variety of implementations for Android and iOS apps.

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites. For example, there is no Appdome SDK, libraries, or plug-ins to implement. The Appdome technology adds In-App Calls Only and relevant standards, frameworks and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

In-App Calls Only is part of Mobile Permission Control which can be found in the Appdome Mobility Suite under the Management tab.

When In-App Calls Only is enabled, the app can not display alternate phone apps when a phone number is clicked within the app. For more information on these types of controls, check out this blog.
