URL Schemes for Direct Access to Software Update Settings on iOS Devices (18.0.1)

Hello everyone :)

For a project application we try to create a QR code that leads the user to the Software Update settings on iPhone after scanning to improve the accessibility for people who are not experienced in using smartphones.

On iOS 18.0.1 I see that using App-prefs: opens the settings app which is a good starting point. Furthermore, using e.g. App-prefs:com.apple.MobileSMS directs the user to the Settings of the Messages app.

But things like App-prefs:root=SoftwareUpdate don't work. That's why I wanted to kindly ask, if someone may have other ideas or knows what the exact URL might be for opening the Software Update settings or at least the General settings (App-prefs:root=General doesn't work).

If anyone has insights or can share the exact URL scheme for this purpose, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

Read this page carefully: Supported URL Schemes.

Unfortunately, that page doesn’t lead to any documented API for what you are hoping to accomplish.

Have you tried this? It works for me: prefs:root=General&path=SOFTWARE_UPDATE_LINK
