Save phynet/471089a51b8f940f0fb4 to your computer and use it in GitHub Desktop.
Fails on iOS 10.
Thanks... You deserve a few 🍻 !!!
@larsblumberg and @Jinxiansen this was commented above (march 29th), sadly it seems it's not approved by Apple, and only those apps that won't be uploaded to Apple Store are using it.
Thanks you so much!
How do Google do to use it in the Gboard keyboard? They clearly use prefs:root=General&path=Keyboard/KEYBOARDS on the Container App.
I need that for the app I'm working on, works flawlessly in iOS9.x.
I can confirm that it doesn't work in simulator iOS10.x, anything with prefs:
Causes a crash on iOS 10
This is confirmed to be using a private API as well and has a high likelihood of causing rejection in App Store reviews.
any solution for iOS 10?
There's no solution for iOS 10 in access OS Settings yet.
@phynet If here is not solution for iOS 10 how did you
@phynet is there one for opening/launching ApplePay/Wallet in iOS 10? Prefs:root=PASSBOOK opens the settings for Wallet & Apple Pay and not the actual screen to make a payment.
@phynet nevermind, it turns out that to open the Wallet you need to use the app's scheme which is shoebox://
shoebox:// confirmed working on iOS 10.1. I would need something similar for opening network settings. Great discovery, no official release yet.
since apple have no bluetooth option in per-app settings, I got a sample for opening bluetooth sample of the URL
which is objective c only

Thanks @luismadrigal for the info, I will update the list when tested for objective-c (shoebox://)
Also, @jonny77221 I will check it out your contribution :D
@phynet any update
No url for Battery?
Battery: "Prefs:root=BATTERY_USAGE"
Siri: "Prefs:root=SIRI"
Using App-Prefs instead of just prefs is working in IOS 10.2. However i'm not sure if apple approves this or not.
App-Prefs is working in IOS 10.2
Thank you all for the collaboration. I've tested App-Prefs and it's working for Swift 3. You have the updated file now 💃
Can you help me with this? I'm trying to write a workflow that jumps into the notifications settings for all my work apps in sequence so I can easily enable my work notifications at the start of each day. I've tried the following URL schemes but the only get me into the notifications, they don't go the extra step of opening the settings for the specified apps...
App-prefs:root=NOTIFICATIONS_ID&path=com.microsoft.lync2013.iphone
App-prefs:root=NOTIFICATIONS_ID&path=com.microsoft.Office.Outlook
i found the Bundle Name (?) using the app store look up url ex http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
@andrewminchew you are in the right track. I've tested the scheme with an app that HAS notifications enabled (maybe that's the problem you have) and did open the notifications for that app. You need the bundleID pasted in path...
UIApplication.shared.openURL(NSURL(string:"App-prefs:root=NOTIFICATIONS_ID&path=com.microsoft.Office.Word")! as URL)
Finding an app's bundle identifier of any app:
Find the app you are looking for on the Apple AppStore. For this example, we’ll use Yelp: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yelp/id284910350?mt=8
Copy the app ID number. It’s just the numbers after the text “id” and before the “?”. So in this case, it is: 284910350.
Paste that ID number into this URL:
https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=284910350
This will download a file 1.txt
Search the output you get back for “bundleId”. The app’s bundle ID will be listed there: com.yelp.yelpiphone
How can I use this schemes in Safari?
I tried to open link App-Prefs://root=General in Safari, and got:
Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.
@2Grey yo want to open a scheme from a safari website or navigator oriented app ? that's a little more complicated. I've never tried that, so I can't tell you how to do it. Let's hope someone else can help you with this.
Thank you for your colaboration @deanlyoung. I've updated the gist ;)
Will my app be rejected if I upload to app store. Also does this work with ios 14+

Your app uses the "prefs:root=" non-public URL scheme, which is a private entity. The use of non-public APIs is not permitted on the App Store because it can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change.
Next Steps
Please revise your app to provide the associated functionality using public APIs or remove the functionality using the "prefs:root" URL scheme.
If there are no alternatives for providing the functionality your app requires, we encourage you to file an enhancement request.
