Universal Links for iOS apps

Question

Is there any way of opening a default iOS app from a universal link (for example the camera app).

If so, where can I find these public universal links?

Not possible it seems:- https://stackoverflow.com/q/3531585/4637057 — Vincent Joy, Feb 21 '18 at 13:19

Do you mean this functionality?

func open(_ scheme: String) {
    guard let url = URL(string: scheme) else {
        return
    }
    if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            UIApplication.shared.open(url)
        } else {
            UIApplication.shared.open(url as URL, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
        }
    }
}

// usage:
open("App-Prefs:root")
