如何从我的应用程序启动应用商店

Question

Im trying to implement button which opens app store application from my app. I use this simple line of code, which opens safari but not app store application.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://itunes.apple.com/sk/app/tweetie-2/id333903271?mt=8"]];

I dont know whats wrong, is the URL format correct? I was following this document .

All related questions in stackoverflow are outofdate I suppose.

Answer 1

According to the documentation, iTunes affiliate links have to process several redirects in order to wind up in iTunes. Follow the example to create an NSURLConnection , set yourself as its delegate, and use the string it ends up with to open with UIApplication .

Answer 2

If you want to bypass Safari, change 'itunes' in the URL to 'phobos'. Note that this will fail in the simulator, but most definitely works on the device.
