Retrieve the user's App Store nickname programmatically

Question

Is anyone aware of a method to get the user's App Store nickname? I know about the CloudKit method fetchUserRecordIDWithCompletionHandler, but this returns the user first and last name, not the nickname that the user uses to e.g. write reviews on iTunes. Thanks

Answer 1

Using fetchUserRecordIDWithCompletionHandler and discoverUserInfoWithUserRecordID is the only way to get information about the current iCloud user.

Besides that you do have to be aware that starting from iOS 9 you wont't get the first and last name anymore only a displayname.
