在提交应用之前，iOS链接到应用商店

Question

I'm building an "About" controller for my iPhone app. I've see other apps successfully include a "rate in market" link to within their "About" controllers.

Is it possible for me to predict what my link would be, so I can hard-code it in the first release of the app, rather than uploading/figuring out the link/releasing the update?

For example an android app market link may look like :

https://market.android.com/details?id=[package name]

for Android, there's an action view with a market URL that may be opened to link right to the app.

Is there a corresponding action within iOS? I want the customer to be able to navigate to the app's page on the app store from my "About" controller.

Answer 1

Check out the iTunes link maker . It looks like the generic form is:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/[APPNAME]/id[APP_ID]

Some examples:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/myapp/id427813331?mt=8&uo=4
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hot-radar/id308361196?mt=8&uo=4
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lightshow-!/id380886382?mt=8&uo=4
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disney-world-park-maps-by/id392534629?mt=8&uo=4
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/universal-park-maps-orlando/id392535133?mt=8&uo=4

I think APP_ID refers to the iTunes Connect App ID for your product. So if you have that, and the name, your good to go!

Answer 2

此外，当您在iTunes Connect中创建应用程序时，您可以在应用程序商店中查看此应用程序，即使它未发布或发送到Apple，您也可以直接使用该应用程序，因此只要您使用基本信息创建它，您就可以在那里链接你可以复制。

By now Apple has introduced short-links via the appstore.com domain:

Q: How can I create easy-to-read short links to the App Store for my apps and company?

iOS: http://appstore.com/<appname> for example, http://appstore.com/keynote

See Technical Q&A QA1633 for the full description of the possibilities.
