Story:

On iOS one can simply do:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions"]];

However Safari is not present on tvOS.

You can directly open to settings -> Manage Subscriptions using

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-apps://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions"]];

Note: This will only work on device.

Question:

Can someone confirm the second approach will work on tvOS?

I do not have an actual device and this will not work on simulator.

Thanks!

Calling the following:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-apps://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions"]];

on an AppleTV Dev Kit with TvOS Beta 3 results in nothing happening and getting the following message in the log:

LaunchServices: ERROR: There is no registered handler for URL scheme itms-apps

An answer from Apple would be really helpful.
