Apple recommends an itms://
link for native applications linking to the app store, however a link such as the following ends up opening itunes first, then redirecting to the app store:
itms://itunes.com/apps/Reactors
How do you open the app store directly with no redirects to iTunes or Safari? It appears that even the usage of phobos.apple.com is being depreciated.
On fast devices it can take several seconds to animate the native app away, animate itunes in place, find the redirect, animate itunes away, animate the app store in place, and find the app. It makes the app seem poorly designed to have all that page flipping occur before bringing the user to what they requested.
Example code:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"itms://itunes.com/apps/Reactors"]]
Go to Site Settings and find Pop-ups and redirects; Make sure that the toggle next to “Block sites from showing pop-ups and redirects (recommended)” is greyed out.
Step 1: Go to the Apple App Store on your iOS device. Step 2: Search for your app and go to the app page. Step 3: Tap the Share Sheet button on the top right of the screen, then choose Copy Link. You can also share your app with others using available sharing methods, such as Skype.
Instead of using "itms://" use "itms-apps://".
This has already been answered within a different thread, but the easiest way is to simply use Apple's Link maker at http://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/us/
