Opening the Settings app from another app

I am calling:

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

But it isn't launching anything. I'd like to launch the Settings app and go to the WI-FI section.

I don't believe this is possible. In earlier iOS versions there was a url pattern that worked but Apple disabled that in iOS 5.

I think it first appeared in 5.0 and was removed in 5.0.1 – progrmr Aug 14 '12 at 22:39

This is not possible.

These are the all the link pattern you can do in iOS 5 and above

Each article in this document describes the format of a particular type of URL:

“Mail Links” describes the format for sending email with the Mail application.

“Phone Links” describes the format for dialing phone numbers in the Phone application.

“Text Links” describes the format for launching the Messages application.

“Map Links” describes the format for specifying locations in the Maps application.

“YouTube Links” describes the format for linking to YouTube videos.

“iTunes Links” describes the format for linking to items in the iTunes Music Store.
