iOS prefs url scheme for touch id & passcode settings

Question

there are a lot of lists with prefs urls for the iOS settings app, used to open a specific site in the settings app (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/8246814/4266294). Unfortunately, I cannot find the url in order to open the touch id & passcode settings.

Does anybody know the url scheme for this?

if let url = URL(string: "App-Prefs:root=TOUCHID_PASSCODE") {
    UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
}

this works on IOS 10.2. However I'm not sure if apple rejects this or not. Has anyone had any issues with their submission using this?

thanks! This solution works with iOS 10. There were no problems with the app store submission. – Fabian Köbel Feb 02 '17 at 08:23

Never use `App-Prefs` it, I used it and Apple rejected my app. – Ganpat Jul 03 '18 at 04:34

@FabianKöbel My app has been rejected due to this (App-Prefs:root=TOUCHID_PASSCODE using apple private api) – Raj Sharma Nov 19 '19 at 05:48

Sorry everyone, this will cause apple to reject it as of now – mikengyn Nov 19 '19 at 15:45

prefs:root=TOUCHID_PASSCODE

Is this still working?? I guess this stops with iOS 10 – DShah Jan 24 '17 at 14:51
Is this legit? Successful app submission doesn't mean that this is legit. It may fail eventually in the future.. – Stas Mar 23 '17 at 07:22
This opened up the app's settings on iOS 11. – Satheesh Apr 05 '18 at 12:46

What's the Apple approved way then? – neuhaus Apr 20 '19 at 16:52
