Opening the Apple TV App Store

Question

Trying to build a tvOS app and one of the use cases I have is to be able to link off and open another app in the Apple TV App Store directly on a button click. Can someone please share a code snippet to enable this?

Answer 1

I have figured this out by examining the device console output. The trick is to use the com.apple.TVAppStore scheme instead of itms-apps. Example (Swiss App Store):

com.apple.TVAppStore://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/youtube/id544007664?mt=8

In fact, the https scheme is also working, but it's then transformed into com.apple.TVAppStore anyway.
