Deep link the user into Settings?

Solar2D iOS
#1

As of iOS 8 it is possible to deep link into the privacy settings of your app ( push permissions etc. ) with this piece of native code: 

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];

Is this possible in Corona or should I write a feature request?

The same effective code as what you posted translates to this in Corona:

system.openURL( "app-settings:" );

Great thanks!

This call doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere.  

I would recommend putting it in the system.openURL docs, and/or writing a note under api features that needs permissions. Like notifications, location, microphone etc.

We can’t possibly document all URL scheme’s that a vendor might use.  There are hundreds of them and are subject to change at the vendor’s whim.
