Anticipate app store url before publish

Aug 1, 2012 7:41 PM

Sorry if this is a silly question.

 

My app links to itself in the app store to nag for ratings. How can i determine this url before the app is published to the app store?

 

thanks

    Here's a piece of trivia for you: the first iPhone had a codename of "purple". That still shows up sometimes, like when going to the review page. Here's how I get to the review page for my app:

     

    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa /viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=514220257"),"_blank") ;

     

    That last number (514220257) is the ID for one of my apps, which you would replace with your ID. As you submit an app you will at some point know the ID for it. You will want to do one last build of the IPA, changing the URL to match the ID that you've been given.

    While this works, that will take you via Safari. The one I gave takes you straight to the review page inside the App Store app.

    Unfortunately, posts to this forum can introduce spaces. I checked the message as it appeared when I sent it, and there were no spaces in the link. Glad you managed to see the space that was introduced.
