使用 App-prefs:root 是否被视为私有 API？

Question

In my app I'm using [NSURL URLWithString:@"App-Prefs:root=Privacy&path=LOCATION"] to open settings screen. Will it be rejected by apple as according to some sources this is considered a private API?

Answer 1

Yes. The only legal way to open Settings is to use UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString .

Answer 2

My app just got rejected because of this, so yes, it is considered as private API :)

Here's the rejection notice from Apple:

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.

Answer 3

To resolve this issue , if you are navigating to Settings > Privacy . "Just remove that code" and put a simple alert showing Enable location services.

Because from iOS 10 apple consider it is as private entity . So you can not go through it.

Answer 4

There's no supported way to open Settings to the Wi-Fi/Language/Location 'page'. The fact that this worked in iOS 9 is a bug that's been fixed in iOS 10.
