It seems Apple has put "App-" in front of the old settings schemes. Could the clock be like "App-Clock-alarm://" in iOS 11?
And Voicememos:// would be.................. App-Voicememos:// in iOS 11?

I suppose as ios11 has direct access to, timer, stopwatch and alarm from control panel this access via a Launcher is no longer needed. Shame though I like my Launcher.
Good point.
The complete list of optional controls you can currently add to Control Center is:
Accessibility Shortcuts
Alarm
Apple TV Remote
Calculator
Camera
Do Not Disturb While Driving
Flashlight
Guided Access
Home
Low Power Mode
Magnifier
Notes
Screen Recording
Stopwatch
Text Size
Timer
Voice Memos
Wallet
Unfortunately I can't but I sure hope someone else can confirm. I hope that when iOS11 final release launches third party apps/widgets can still launch Apple Apps and various Settings which are or aren't part of the new Control Center settings.
It's a nice selection of Apple apps and Settings, however not all Settings are available or have an option as you want them to be e.g. to turn on/off a certain setting with a switch. Also the WIFI name is behind a 3D Touch/long press instead of showing it instantly (if the user wants this). Therefore I keep using Launcher/Magic Launcher among author app launchers or quick in app contact/message/navigation launchers.
doesn't work on my french iOS phone but
App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=PIN%20carte%SIM
does !
you show me the track and with :
App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=Applications%20SIM
it's working !
im playing with :
http://www.simore.com/media/wysiwyg/X-Twin/x-twin-iphone-nano-EN-user-manual.pdf
the "thing" add a "SIM Applications" in english and an "Applications SIM" in french menu
It's great to read that you were able to find the (French) URL schemes. I didn't knew these were different for certain areas/languages. Do you happen to know then what the difference is between:
App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=SIM%20PIN (US) or App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=PIN%20carte%SIM (French)
and
App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=Applications%20SIM
I have my phone set to the Dutch language and I only have a Sim pincode tab within Settings > Phone.
App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=SIM%20PIN (US) or App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=PIN%20carte%SIM (French)
and
App-Prefs:root=Phone&path=Applications%20SIM

it's the simore hardware that adds a menu
http://cl.zo0.me/0c0a0K0g1S1Q
in red the new menu "Applications SIM"
and in green a glitch when i switch from one SIM ton another i'm on the carrier "Bouygues" but i have the service menu for the other Carrier "Orange". It's ok because i didn't use this part. I think it's the SIM Menu.

i'v tried a few sub menu items in Safari no-one works for me
did you tried "App-Prefs:root=SAFARI&path=Content%20Blockers" ?
i'm on a French iPhone... so i have tried "App-Prefs:root=SAFARI&path=Bloqueurs%20de%20contenu" = KO
so sad, there isn't an official list ;(

The original post here has most of the settings url schemes.
That scheme for Safari passwords didn't work for me.

Thank you! Here in Brazil, we sometimes need to turn off the mobile data and it gets tiresome, because it also has no shortcut. You could not go any further in the function:
Settings -> Cellular / Mobile
App-Prefs: root = MOBILE_DATA_SETTINGS_ID
And get where we can turn on and off mobile data and cell phone options (2G, 3G, and 4G).
Muito obrigada! Aqui no Brasil, nós precisamos as vezes de desligar os dados moveis e isso cansa, por também não ter atalho. Você não poderia ir mais afundo na função:
Settings -> Cellular/Mobile
App-Prefs:root=MOBILE_DATA_SETTINGS_ID
E chegar onde conseguimos ligar e desligar dados moveis e opções de daods celulares (2G, 3G E 4G).

I've tested these schemes in iOS 11 Beta 5. Not work!
And Preferences.app would crash after my app open the url schemes with LSApplicationWorkpace if I did not launch Preferences.app at first.
That doesn't sound good at all. As long as Apple didn't include all options to launch via the Control Center this would be really painfull then for some Setting option to quickly look up/update/turn on/off.
Have you also noticed the story about Magic Launcher that Apple removed the Pro version of that.
Apple's reason according to Magic Launcher developer:
"They don’t allow third party apps such as Magic Launcher to launch system quick settings
or allow launching of third-party apps because they assume it promotes them - which is "not appropriate for the App Store." So are apps now also no longer allows to be launched by 3rd party apps?
See also their recent Facebook post about it here and here. Their free version is still live.
It might have to do with them using still the 'Settings' in their app (although empty) and the App Store screenshots (also in the Free version).

Launcher beta update from Greg (Cromulent Labs).
From the website:
iOS11 is currently still in beta and it’s impossible to know what the final product will be until it is released in mid-September, but based on the most current beta, I wanted to let Launcher users know about changes that will likely come with this new version of iOS if and when you choose to upgrade to it.
Here is a quick summary of the changes coming in iOS 11 so far that will affect Launcher (I will explain them in more detail below):
Settings launchers will only launch the Settings app and no longer direct you to a specific screen like Wifi or Bluetooth settings.
Several Apple built-in apps can no longer be launched. That list is: Camera, Clock, Contacts, Phone (can still launch phone calls, just not the app), Stocks, Voice Memos and Weather.
Tapping on a launcher to make a phone or FaceTime call now prompts the user every time to make sure that they really want to make the call.
Pulling down the notification center shows the Notifications screen every time even if the last time you had it open to the Widgets screen.
I don’t expect the first two issues to change in the final version of iOS 11, but I am hopeful that there could be some change in the last two. Continue reading for more details on each change. I plan on updating this post if anything changes in upcoming versions of iOS 11.

This is again so sad news. I understood earlier that updating to iOS11 isn't interesting at all as long as the Apple Settings launchers in Control Center won't be able to launch everything or instantly show it like WIFI name and switch between WIFI.
Magic Launcher Pro is also back in the App Store but they did indicate:
"4.6.2 version: IMPORTANT: Apple no longer allows third-party apps access iOS Settings because of user's privacy. From iOS 11, we can do it via Control Center instead. This new policies affects all the Launchers in App Store also. From this update, Magic Launcher will remove all Quick Settings and Setting launchers from the app. All other functions are still working as normal.
We are really sorry for this inconvenience."

Not that I see. I could be wrong though. Maybe someone else knows. But you can go to the previous screen with this scheme in iOS 10.
App-Prefs:root=Phone
It takes you here:

Thank you. I got that far too. And I think that's as far as we can go.
I'm not sure if it exists. My provider doesn't offer it so I don't see it in my Settings so I can try it myself.
You might be able to try:
Prefs:root=Phone&path=WIFI
Prefs:root=Phone&path=WIFIcall
Prefs:root=Phone&path=WIFIcalling
Prefs:root=Phone&path=WIFI-call
Prefs:root=Phone&path=WIFI-calling
I don't think that it exists. Otherwise it would have definitely been included in this topic, this GitHub or in the Launcher startpost.
Looks like all the custom launcher capability is lost with iOS 11.
Anyone have new URL for Settings app launchers?
