iPhone sdk - open app store to specific app?

Question

Is there a way to open the app store to a specific application? I tried using something like the following:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284417350&mt=8&uo=6"]];

But got the following: "Safari cannot open the page because to many redirects occurred".

Answer 1

Apparently this issue only affects the simulator. A build an go on the device works perfect.

Answer 2

Another simple way is:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-apps://itunes.com/app/YourAppNameWithoutSpaces"]];

This is very clean

Answer 3

You can open app without opening safari

NSString *appId = @"you appid"; //like 999999999
NSString *link = [@"itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=" stringByAppendingString:appId];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:link]];

Answer 4

Use http://itunes.com/app/YourAppNameWithoutSpaces

Answer 5

Replace iTunesLink with your App URL.

 NSString *iTunesLink = @"https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digital-speedometer-pro/id1021728349?mt=8";

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:iTunesLink]];

Starting from iOS 6 right way to go is using SKStoreProductViewController class.
