Open Settings Programmatically iOS 10

I am able to open Settings > iCloud using following method, 

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"App-Prefs:root=CASTLE"]];

enter image description here

Question: Is this legal? Will Apple reject the application? Because I cannot find any legitimate source for this method to open iCloud Settings.

Based on experience, Apple will decline reviewing your app in case you use ":root=" non-public url Scheme

Apple Review Team Message:

Your app uses the "prefs:root=" non-public URL scheme, which is a private entity. The use of non-public APIs is not permitted on the App Store because it can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change.

Continuing to use or conceal non-public APIs in future submissions of this app may result in the termination of your Apple Developer account, as well as removal of all associated apps from the App Store.

It is not supported officially and you can follow along this SO Thread and this answer in particular. Hope it clear out the issue. The settings would open but as it is not officially supported there may a rejection due to this issue.

Apple has stopped allowing redirection to the public schema like Prefs so from now on the application will not be able to redirect to the settings other than the self-settings. See the link for more detail
