Hello,
I am developing an HCE-based contactless payment application for the European Economic Area. I want to detect when my application is not the default contactless app and forward the user to the iOS settings for selecting the default contactless app.
Question #1: How can I detect that my app is not the default contactless app?
Question #2: How can I forward the user directly to the default contactless app selection in iOS settings? This line of code forwards the user to my app’s settings, which contains a reference to the default contactless app selection, but I couldn’t forward the user directly to the default contactless app selection view:
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "app-settings:root=General")!)
There must be a way to jump directly to the default contactless app selection view as described in Apple's commitment to the EU (Case AT.40452, Chapter 3.8): "Apple will enable HCE Payment Applications to redirect users directly to the App’s page in settings and include a link which will take the user directly to the NFC settings page to easily set the default Payment Application for NFC In-Store Payments.
