iOS App Store URL - Rate button - iOS

Question

I want to add a rate button to the settings page in my iOS app. The only problem I have is what to use as the link. I have been searching around and apparently you can use:

http://appstore.com/appname

The problem is that I don't know the App Store URL of my app for sure until it gets reviewed and accepted onto the App Store...

Should I take a gamble and use "http://appstore.com/appname" or should I wait for the app to be accepted and then in the next app update add the rate button??

Thanks for your time, Dan.

Once you create your app in ITunes Connect you will get an app ID. you can use the app ID to refer to your app as follow

http://itunes.apple.com/app/id123456789

where 123456789 is your app ID

or from within your app so it will open the app store app

itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id123456789
