Rate Me URL on app store before App Published

I am implementing a rate me function in xcode 6.1 - Swift.

I am following this tutorial and my question is how do I find the URL for my app on the app store before it is published i.e. is there a default URL we add the App Name to pre-emptively?

  • Using a AlertController to display rate me options

    var alert = UIAlertController(title: "Rate Me", message: "Thanks for using Lab Cases- Ver 1 Newbrn and Obstetric Haematology", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Rate Lab Cases", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { alertAction in
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string : "itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=<iTUNES CONNECT APP ID>")!)

alert.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}))

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "No Thanks", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { alertAction in
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setBool(true, forKey: "neverRate")

alert.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

}))
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Maybe Later", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { alertAction in
alert.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}))


self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

And the call to the URL is here -

UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string : "itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=<iTUNES CONNECT APP ID>")!)

            alert.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

Thanks in advance C

Solution

  • You can get the URL from https://itunesconnect.apple.com

    Login with you apple id, go to the section of My Apps,Select the app(or create new)

    On the submenu, there's More/View on App Store.

    This is the link of actual app
