How to open your app's settings (inside the Settings app) with Swift (iOS 11)?

I would like to open my app's settings page inside the Settings app with Swift 4 in iOS 11. Just like the picture shows:

enter image description here

The following codes doesn't work, it will only open the Settings app:

   if let url = URL(string:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) {
        if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
            UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
        }
    }

The app shows in the above picture is able to do this. So I wonder if there is any way to custom the URL Scheme to make it happen?

You can open your app settings screen using it's bundle id, for example for CAMERA permission, you can use

if let bundleId = /* your app's bundle identifier */
    let url = URL(string: "\(UIApplication.openSettingsURLString)&path=CAMERA/\(bundleId)"),
    UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    }
}

Just an update because UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString changed.

 guard let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) else {
    return
 }
 if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:])
 }

Oops, it seems it works in iOS 11.4.1:

 if let url = URL(string:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) {
                if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
                    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
                }
            }
