You can't directly open the Wi-Fi settings tab from your app. You are just allowed to open the settings app in general.

The following code works with Swift 4 + iOS 9+:

func openWifiSettings() {
    print("Opening Wi-Fi settings.")

    let shared = UIApplication.shared
    let url = URL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString)!

    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        shared.open(url)
    } else {
        shared.openURL(url)
    }
}

It was actually possible in iOS 9 to open the Wi-Fi settings tab directly (using private API URL schemes) but this was considered as bug usage.

Therefore: Don't use App-Prefs:root or pref:root URL schemes as they will lead to rejection of your app by Apple's review check.

If you need to connect to a certain Wi-Fi network NEHotspotConfigurationManager maybe helps.
