Will this get rejected? App-prefs:root=CASTLE&path=STORAGE_AND_BACKUP

I'm attempting to send users to the device storages settings when storage is low. This is from an app and is triggered on a button press. There doesn't seem to be a clear answer if using open URL with "App-prefs:root=CASTLE&path=STORAGE_AND_BACKUP" is something that will get your app rejected. A response from apple support would be appreciated!


Is there a better way to acheive this?

AFAIK, that Setting URL stopped functioning starting in iOS 11 and is considered a Private API to Apple only, use of which is a common rejection.


URL can be used to go directly to Settings/MyApp/, but that doesn't fit your goal of which there is no current means outside of the user leaving your app for Settings global.


Otherwise, note that support isn't here. Feel free to use the 'Contact Us' link below to reach out directly.


Good luck.

App.


>To clarify...


Got it the first time, thanks.

Apple never provides advance options on App Review. If you think your app would be rejected, then you should probably change it.

Any update on this? facing the same problem here.
