Open App Settings API
Send users straight to your app's page in the iOS Settings app to manage permissions and notifications.
The Open App Settings API of WebViewGold sends the user straight to your app's page in the native iOS Settings app. From there they can manage permissions (camera, location, notifications…), language, and other app settings — without leaving your web app to hunt through iOS Settings.
How to Use:
Trigger the screen from an HTML link or from JavaScript:
<a href="settingsapp://">Open app settings</a>
window.location.href = "settingsapp://";
Typical Use Cases:
- The user denied a permission (camera, microphone, location, notifications) — send them straight to the system screen to re-enable it.
- Guide the user to the notification settings of your app, e.g. in combination with the
checkNativePushPermissions://call of the Push Notifications API.
Notes: No parameters. Any URL that starts with settingsapp:// opens the same screen.
