Navigating to App-prefs:root allowed?
From a bit of reading I've done - I believe navigating directly into specific iOS settings such as bluetooth settings via Linking.openURL(App-prefs:root=Bluetooth) isn't allowed, and can result in Apple Store rejections and even Apple account bans. This is obvious because these links dont work anyways when I tested it.
However, something I haven't been able to get a clear answer on is whether you're allowed to navigate into the phones "settings" via Linking.openURL(App-prefs:). In development, this currently works and you get navigated to the phone's general settings page.
Is this allowed? I haven't been able to find concrete documentation on this..

It is allowed. You can also navigate to the app's individual settings.
