Call with skype within my IOS app and then return

I am developing an iPad app and want to make a call using Skype. I have successfully launched Skype client using an example from Skype with the following code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"skype:echo123?call"]];

which can be found here http://developer.skype.com/skype-uris/skype-uri-tutorial-ios.

I have also read about Skype Buttons, which Skype provides for placing in a webpage and email, but cant find out how to place then in an app, if it's even possible.

When call ends, I want to return to my app. Any information guiding me in the right direction is appreciated!

Some applications on iOS do support going back to your application after you launch them. For example, Chrome supports this via the x-callback-url scheme: https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/ios-links

Unfortunately, Skype does not seem to be among the apps supporting this approach: http://x-callback-url.com/apps/

This likely means you're out of luck. Sorry!
