Open AppStore through button
Here. But I highly suggest you learn the basics of Swift!
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "itms://itunes.apple.com/de/app/x-gift/id839686104?mt=8&uo=4")!)
If you wanna open the AppStore in Swift 5:
if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1629135515") {
UIApplication.shared.open(url)
}
I use this combination, its better for rate/shopping.
(partially from here)
@IBAction func rateMe(sender: AnyObject) {
if #available(iOS 8.0, *) {
openStoreProductWithiTunesItemIdentifier("107698237252");
} else {
var url = NSURL(string: "itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xxxxxxxxxxx/id107698237252?ls=1&mt=8")
if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(url!) == true {
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url!)
}
}
}
func openStoreProductWithiTunesItemIdentifier(identifier: String) {
let storeViewController = SKStoreProductViewController()
storeViewController.delegate = self
let parameters = [ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : identifier]
storeViewController.loadProductWithParameters(parameters) { [weak self] (loaded, error) -> Void in
if loaded {
// Parent class of self is UIViewContorller
self?.presentViewController(storeViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
func productViewControllerDidFinish(viewController: SKStoreProductViewController) {
viewController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
don't forget to import and delegate:
import StoreKit
class RateMeViewController: UIViewController, SKStoreProductViewControllerDelegate {
Swift 3 Syntax and improved with an 'if let'
if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1024941703"),
UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url){
UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
}
UPDATE 7/5/17 (Thank you Oscar for pointing this out):
if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1024941703"),
UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url)
{
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
} else {
UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
}
}
