Programmatically opening the settings app (iPhone)

Is it currently possible to go to Apple's Settings application from a third party iPhone application? It's currently possible to open mail, safari, etc. What about Settings?

From stackoverflow
  • I don't believe so. It would be a welcomed addition, you should file a request for it. There are url schemes for mail,sms etc, but not for settings.

  • There is no way to do this with the current version of the API sorry.

    That said, you can certainly interact with the settings for your particular application. In theory, if you had to, you could re-create the same visual experience of the Settings Application.

    Sneakyness : They specifically tell you not to do that.
