How to open settings app programmatically? - neap608 - 07-19-2023
I'm using swift with ios 8.3. I want to open settings app from my application. I know that using the code
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString)!)
will open my app settings. But I don't want to open my app settings. I just want to open the settings app and stay in the main page. If possible, navigate to "Cellular". Is there any way to acheive this?

Xcode 14:
you can do:
// System settings:
let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString)!
UIApplication.shared.open(url)
// Notifications settings:
URL(string: UIApplication.openNotificationSettingsURLString)!
UIApplication.shared.open(url)

Try this.
if let appSettings = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) {
UIApplication.shared.open(appSettings, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}
Xcode 11.5 - iOS > 10

YES, They made changes in iOS 10, Please change "prefs:" to "App-Prefs:"
```swift
guard let profileUrl = URL(string:"App-Prefs:root=General&path=ManagedConfigurationList") else {
return
}
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(profileUrl) {
UIApplication.shared.open(profileUrl, completionHandler: { (success) in
print(" Profile Settings opened: \(success)")
})
}

**Update on 11-Oct-2016:**
It won't work in iOS10 anymore. So far I haven't found any workaround. If you guys have any solution please let me know. thanks.
======================================
if the iOS version <= iOS9, you need set URL types:

You can do in this way:
let url:NSURL! = NSURL(string : "prefs:root=")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url)
I have a demo on github:

And you can find all available URLs as follows:
