Open iOS Touch ID settings programatically

My app uses Touch ID, but if the user has not enabled it I am currently asking them to manually open the Settings app and scroll down to the Touch ID item.

Is there a way to directly link them to the Touch ID Settings page shown below from within my app?

(Note that I don't want open the Settings app at the top level, or open the app's native settings page as described in is it possible to open Settings App using openURL?.)

A Cordova plugin would be ideal, but documentation on any iOS system call would be great.

Solution

  • Sadly, it is not possible to open the Touch ID page.

    EDIT: This was changed again under iOS 10, please check the answers below.
