Does CN1 have any way to make voip calls from within an app? Would it be feasible to launch skype from cn1, if not ?

Also my client wants to "scan documents" from this app, is there any document scanning support for cn1? if not would it be feasible to launch an external app to do this? 

I presume you can do this as the QR code scanner appears to work this way.

Cheers,
Gaz

I know of at least one developer who integrated a 3rd party voip library so it's possible but I haven't tried it. I'm sure skype publishes a URI you can use to invoke it via Display.execute(). A quick google search came up with: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/skype-sdk/skypeuris/skypeuritutorial_iosapps which should work for skype:echo123?call

We don't have a scan documents feature, I'm sure it's possible to launch an external app on Android. Not sure about iOS. If there's a library you can integrate it like camera kit.

Thanks Shai, so launching other iOS it isnt ordinarily supported in cn1? A native lib could be written to launch anything I guess, would be a good library to have. 

Also do you happen to know which voip lib they implemented?

It is. It's just not as powerful/prevalent as Android intents.I don't recall the library they used. I looked through emails but couldn't find it.
