Opening app's notification settings in the settings app
I found the answer to this question (albeit helpful) has a bit too much assumed logic. Here is a plain and simple Swift 5 implementation if anyone else stumbles upon this question:
if let bundleIdentifier = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier, let appSettings = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString + bundleIdentifier) {
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(appSettings) {
UIApplication.shared.open(appSettings)
}
}
For Swift 3, use UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString
to go to settings for your app where it shows the Notifications status and "Cellular Data"
let settingsButton = NSLocalizedString("Settings", comment: "")
let cancelButton = NSLocalizedString("Cancel", comment: "")
let message = NSLocalizedString("Your need to give a permission from notification settings.", comment: "")
let goToSettingsAlert = UIAlertController(title: "", message: message, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
goToSettingsAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: settingsButton, style: .destructive, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
guard let settingsUrl = URL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) else {
return
}
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(settingsUrl) {
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
UIApplication.shared.open(settingsUrl, completionHandler: { (success) in
print("Settings opened: \(success)") // Prints true
})
} else {
UIApplication.shared.openURL(settingsUrl as URL)
}
}
}
}))
logoutUserAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: cancelButton, style: .cancel, handler: nil))
UPDATE: This will be rejected by Apple.
To open notifications part of settings use this
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string:"App-Prefs:root=NOTIFICATIONS_ID")!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
