'requestReview()' was deprecated in iOS 14.0

Question

In iOS 14, Xcode is showing a warning:

requestReview()' was deprecated in iOS 14.0

I'm using StoreKit to ask review automatically in my app.

func requestReview() {     guard shouldRequestReview else {return}     SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()     lastRequest = Date() } 

How to get rid of that warning?

Answer 1

Quick solution

if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {     SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene) } 

Convenient solution

Here's a true one-liner:

SKStoreReviewController.requestReviewInCurrentScene() 

but first you need to create the following extension in SKStoreReviewController:

extension SKStoreReviewController {     public static func requestReviewInCurrentScene() {         if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {             requestReview(in: scene)         }     } } 

_{Here is a GitHub repository with different Swift extensions including requestReviewInCurrentScene().}

Explanation

The requestReview function was deprecated in iOS 14:

@available(iOS, introduced: 10.3, deprecated: 14.0) open class func requestReview() 

You need to use the requestReview(in:) function instead:

@available(iOS 14.0, *) open class func requestReview(in windowScene: UIWindowScene) 

Possible solutions

• Custom extension

You can create the following extension:

extension UIApplication {     var currentScene: UIWindowScene? {         connectedScenes             .first { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive } as? UIWindowScene     } } 

and use it like this:

if let scene = UIApplication.shared.currentScene {     SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene) } 

• Universal one-liner:

if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {     SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene) } 

• single scene solution (for iOS)

if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene {     SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene) }

Simply solution for iOS 13 and above

Swift 5+

    if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {         if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {             SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)         }     } else if #available(iOS 10.3, *) {         SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()     }
