openUrlExternally any impact on permissions ?

[ekkescorner]

just found out what can be done with openUrlExternally :)
one question if running on mobile platforms (Android, iOS)
does the use of openUrlExternally has any impact on permissions ?

Hi,

Do you mean require additional permissions from the user ?

[ekkescorner]

@SGaist yep.
never used before - today learned about ;-)
now I'll add some hyperlinks to Qt WS Conference App - About Page
while googling about it I found examples to call a phone number, send email or open Browser,
so I was asking me if this could have an impact on permissions on mobile platforms

[SGaist]

AFAIK, no.

IIRC, on Android it will start a new intent with the information provided.

On iOS, when I wrote the wiki article about using openUrl with phone numbers and email I didn't encounter any permission problem. Note that it was on iOS 8 or 9, there might have been changes in between.
