My app clip needs to access the camera so need to redirect users to the settings if access is denied, however the regular method of calling

    let url = UIApplication.openSettingsURLString;
    if let appSettingsURL = URL(string: url) {
      UIApplication.shared.open(appSettingsURL)
    }

doesn't seem to take app clips into account and just lands people in the base Settings page. It works fine if directly deploying to a device, but when testing via TestFlight it's installed under the AppClips subsection instead.

Is there a way to get users directly into Settings -> AppClips -> AppName?

@JJY, did you #filefeedback for this? The documentation for the openSettingsURLString describes "app" so my guess is that the behavior is expected. That having been said, I agree it would be nice to direct the user to correct permission issues if they want to access a feature they previously denied authorization for. I just filed mine requesting app clip settings url: FB10346783
