I suspect you have a whitelist problem. Please see the XDK docs regarding whitelists and see the blank cordova template (create a project from it) for reference.

Those settings appear to be okay. Could also be the CSP rule in your index.html file. See the sample rules in that doc page I directed you to for help. Otherwise, you may have to do some debugging on your device with a built app. See this page for help with that > https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-debug-and-test-overview <

I don't email via my app but I do make phone calls.

In the Network Request fields in the XDK UI, all I have are my domain and Google (https://*.googleapis.com/* & https://*.gstatic.com/*)

For phone calls I use the Cordorva Call Number Plugin by Carlos Ferreyra.

I also suggest you edit your intelxdk.config.additions.xml and add:

<allow-intent href="tel:*" />

Vs. via the UI.

If you just write the phone number / email as plain text (<p> or <h1> or <h2> etc) without using <a> elements in the page, when you tap on it the phone will automatically open the calling app / the mailing app, without adding plugins or Whitelist permissions ( I know that this is working in Android, I don't know if it works in IOS without plugins ).

Hope this helps you!
