Opening the Settings app from another app

UPDATE: I’m looking for a similar code stated here:

    iOS 8 and iOS 9

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


    There is no way to do this.

    Because till now (11th Jan 2013) there is no url scheme available for settings app.

    iOS 6

    You can’t do this on iOS 6.

    iOS 5 and below (< iOS 5.1)

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"prefs:root=General"]];
