How do you launch the iOS Photos app from another app? (Swift)

Question

I have a video recording app and I was wondering if it is possible to create a button that says "View Camera Roll" and when you click on that button it would launch the Photos app on your phone.

I see a common use for something like this is UIImagePickerController in my actual app which is close to what I want, but I don't want the user to be picking one for something other than just viewing it and browsing through their photos. It would be much easier to just have a link to the actual Photos app.

You can use photos-redirect:// to open the Photos app but since it is not documented Apple can reject your app and you can have problems with it in the future if it stops working.
