How can I add a link for a rate button with swift?

Question

First I don't know how to get the link before I submit my app, and if the link is for each country app store or is it universal?

Also I don't know if the way to do it is just by putting the link there like:

@IBAction func rate(sender: AnyObject) {     UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string : "webLinkHere")!) } 

Or should I use another way to do this?

Thanks

Try This, change appId in your method by your App ID

Swift 5

import StoreKit  func rateApp() {     if #available(iOS 10.3, *) {         SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()      } else if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/" + "appId") {         if #available(iOS 10, *) {             UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)          } else {             UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)         }     } } 

Swift 3 \ 4

func rateApp() {     guard let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/" + "appId") else {         return     }     if #available(iOS 10, *) {         UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)      } else {         UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)     } } 

id959379869 This is the id when you go on your Itune page of your app

Example : https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/hipster-moustache/id959379869?mt=8

How get the ID :

1. Itunesconnect account
2. My Apps
3. Click on "+" Button
4. New iOS App
5. Fill require details
6. After filling all details goto your App
7. Click on More Button
8. View on AppStore
9. It will redirect you to your App URL this will be universal
10. Look Http URL

This is working the best for me. Directs the user straight to the 'Write A Review' composer of the application.

Swift 3.1 (Support for iOS10 and below)

Introduces new action=write-review

let appID = "959379869"  if let checkURL = URL(string: "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=\(appID)&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=2&type=Purple+Software&mt=8") {     open(url: checkURL) } else {     print("invalid url") }  ...  func open(url: URL) {     if #available(iOS 10, *) {         UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: { (success) in             print("Open \(url): \(success)")         })     } else if UIApplication.shared.openURL(url) {             print("Open \(url)")     } } 

Tested and works on Swift 2.2

let appID = "959379869" // Your AppID if let checkURL = NSURL(string: "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=\(appID)&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=2&type=Purple+Software&mt=8") {     if UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(checkURL) {         print("url successfully opened")     } } else {     print("invalid url") }
