Support prefs URL scheme for iOS devices about appium HOT 6 CLOSED

I think it is already possible with the support of deep links that Apple added to XCTest since iOS 17
Check the mobile: deepLink extension and the appium:initialDeeplinkUrl capability

from appium.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to just document that somewhere/link the above list in the driver repository

I got operation not permitted error. With App-Prefs according to https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/691712 , it opened settings app but did not open a specific page in my device env. So the deepLink could kick the given url like the attached urls, but the behavior depends on the device. Some might work so documentation would be helpful but we also should address this is not for all env at least

I tried the deepLink extension but have had the same behaviour as @KazuCocoa. Settings app opens, but no specific page is opened.

I'm not sure if the App-Prefs/prefs works via https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest/xcuiapplication/4108226-openurl , but the deeplink basically calls open url like that API internally. @ilendemli how did you confirm the behavior without Appium?

If only via UIApplication works as the apple's forum, potentially via XCUIApplication for XCTest might not work.

Yea never mind, I remember this working back then a few years ago but it seems like this does not work anymore. But opening the URL from the Shortcuts app seems to work.
