As of iOS 8, handoff makes it possible to make calls from devices such as iPad via your iPhone.

Calling [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel://123"]]; returns YES on iPad when the iPad is not signed into an iCloud account or linked to a device capable of making calls.

Steps to Reproduce:
Call the following method in your iOS app on an iPad running iOS 8, not signed into iCloud.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL urlWithString:@"tel://123"]];

Observe that method returns YES.

Attempting to open the link results in nothing happening.

Method should return NO for devices not linked to a call-capable device

Actual Results:
Method returns YES but is unable to actually open the URL and make the call
