Default Launch Game Center From Within My App

I've been trying to get the game center LeaderboardViewController working from within my game, but I'm having all kinds of UIView problems. (I've read about similar problems people have with Cocos2d, but I'm using a different engine).

I was just wondering if there is a way to simply launch the Game Center app instead? Apparently you can do it for some apps with URL schemes, but I couldn't find anything for Game Center.

So, is there a way to exit my app, and launch Game Center (preferably going to my app's Game Center page)?

Thanks!

Even if there was a way, I think that would be in violation of Apple's guidelines and you'll risk to have it rejected during review.

Figure out the problems and use the LeaderboardViewController instead.

Yes, thank you very much, fixing the problem would be ideal. But I've already spent a day on it, and I can't waste anymore time on this.

As it is right now, I'm probably going to submit without any in-game way to show leaderboards/achievements. Guidelines say that you "should" provide a way to see leaderboards, so I guess it could get rejected. However, I'm sure I've seen other games that don't provide a way to see them.

That brings me back to my original question: is there a way to launch Game Center from within my app?
