Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:

When an APP provides settings with a Settings.bundle and opens this settings view with

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];

the view initially only contains the privacy settings and not any entry from the Settings bundle.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an APP with a Settings.bundle
2. request access from the PHAssets or ALAssetLibrary
3. call openURL with the system constant UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString

Expected Results:
APP switches to System settings and its APP settings view with all fields from the privacy settings AND the contents of the settings bundle.

Actual Results:
Only the privacy settings appear in the view.

Regression:
iOS 8, on device debugging

Notes:
When the user goes back from the APP settings to the general settings and re-enters the APP settings, the entries from the settings bundle will appear but this is a huge bug from a UX perspective.
