SKStoreReviewController requestReview doesn't prompt for review

Question

I want to use the new feature added in 10.3 to ask users for reviews. In the docs, apple states that when this method is called "a rating/review request view is displayed".

I am getting the rating view( where you can select how many stars to rate), but I am not able to write a review. I have to mention that I only tested in simulator.

Is this the correct behaviour?

Answer 1

In development mode the “Submit” button is disabled. Once your app is in the App Store, this button becomes active and the user is given the option to write a review after they hit “Submit”.

Answer 2

On development mode it always displays the prompt but doesn't actually do anything.

If you want to point people to write a review about your app:

To automatically open a page on which users can write a review in the App Store, append the query parameter action=write-review to your product URL.
