Question

I wanted to launch settings app from an alert like you see below:

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex

{
NSString *title = [alertView buttonTitleAtIndex:buttonIndex];

if([title isEqualToString:@"Ok"])
{
    NSLog(@"Ok was selected.");
}
else if([title isEqualToString:@"Safari"])
{
    NSLog(@"open Safari was selected.");
      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"prefs:root=General"]];
}

}

I used prefs:root=General, but then I read from the link below…

iOS Launching Settings -> Restrictions URL Scheme

Answer 1

Try this (works on iOS 5 and up):

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"prefs://"]];
