Hello Friends.

Any Idea what happened to the Setting's Custom URL Scheme on iOS 10?

Is Apple still giving acess to third-pary apps to launch iOS Settings from the app via URL Scheme on iOS10? The Old URL scheme are not working anymore! 😟

Just tried and this code is still working for me:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];

How about this: prefs:root or prefs:root=WIFI?

I think he is asking about opening some iOS Settings like Wifi, Cellular, etc... from third-party apps

yes, the Custom URL scheme dosen't work on iOS10 anymore.

I added the "prefs" in "URL types"(https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1924/_index.html), still it done's work.

let keyboardSettingsURL = NSURL(string: "prefs:root=General&path=Keyboard")

UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(keyboardSettingsURL!)

The answer is in QA1924.

The

prefs:

URL scheme is undocumented. Its use, except in the specific case described in this document, is a violation of the iOS App Review Guidelines and may result in the rejection of your app. You may only use prefs:root=General&path=Keyboard to open the Keyboard settings, and only from a custom keyboard extension. It may not be used by any other type of app, nor to open any other Settings.
