Open AppStore through button

Ios Problem Overview

Could you guys help me to translate the following code into Swift?

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"itms://itunes.apple.com/de/app/x-gift/id839686104?mt=8&uo=4"]];

(or do I have to take this link: itms://itunes.apple.com/app/id839686104?)

Thanks in advance!

Solution 1 - Ios

Here. But I highly suggest you learn the basics of Swift!

UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "itms://itunes.apple.com/de/app/x-gift/id839686104?mt=8&uo=4")!)

If you wanna open the AppStore in Swift 5:

if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://apple.com/app/id839686104") {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url)
}

Solution 2 - Ios

Swift 3 Syntax and improved with an 'if let'

if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1024941703"),
UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url){
    UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
}

UPDATE 7/5/17 (Thank you Oscar for pointing this out):

if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1024941703"),
    UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url)
{
    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    } else {
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
    }
}

Solution 3 - Ios

I use this combination, its better for rate/shopping.

(partially from here)

    @IBAction func rateMe(sender: AnyObject) {
    if #available(iOS 8.0, *) {
        openStoreProductWithiTunesItemIdentifier("107698237252");
    } else {
        var url  = NSURL(string: "itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xxxxxxxxxxx/id107698237252?ls=1&mt=8")
        if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(url!) == true  {
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url!)
        }
        
    }
}
func openStoreProductWithiTunesItemIdentifier(identifier: String) {
    let storeViewController = SKStoreProductViewController()
    storeViewController.delegate = self
    
    let parameters = [ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : identifier]
    storeViewController.loadProductWithParameters(parameters) { [weak self] (loaded, error) -> Void in
        if loaded {
            // Parent class of self is UIViewContorller
            self?.presentViewController(storeViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
    }
}
func productViewControllerDidFinish(viewController: SKStoreProductViewController) {
    viewController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}

don't forget to import and delegate:

import StoreKit

class RateMeViewController: UIViewController, SKStoreProductViewControllerDelegate {

Solution 4 - Ios

Swift 4 with completion handler:

Make sure to update your id in the appStoreUrlPath

func openAppStore() {
    if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id..."),
        UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url){
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:]) { (opened) in
            if(opened){
                print("App Store Opened")
            }
        }
    } else {
        print("Can't Open URL on Simulator")
    }
}

Solution 5 - Ios

Since other answers didn't work for me (Swift, Xcode 6.1.1) here I post my solution:

var url  = NSURL(string: "itms://itunes.apple.com/de/app/x-gift/id839686104?mt=8&uo=4")

if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(url!) {
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url!)
}

Solution 6 - Ios

For Swift 5 (tested code) to open App Store link

if let url = URL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/your-appName/id123456?mt=8") 
{
           if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
              UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
           }
           else {
                 if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url as URL) {
                    UIApplication.shared.openURL(url as URL)
                }
           }
}

>Check newer app update available on iTunes in Swift 3

let currentAppVersion = Bundle.main.infoDictionary
Alamofire.request("http://itunes.apple.com/jp/lookup/?id=548615", method: .get, parameters: nil, headers: nil).responseJSON { response in
        if let value = response.result.value as? [String: AnyObject] {
            let versionNum = value["results"]?.value(forKey: "version") as? NSArray
            if versionNum?[0] as! String != currentAppVersion?["CFBundleShortVersionString"] as! String {
                self.alertForUpdateApp()
            }
        }
    }

func alertForUpdateApp() {
    
    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Update Available", message: "There is a newer version of this app available", preferredStyle: .alert)
    let alertActionCancel = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil)
    let alertActionUpdate = UIAlertAction(title: "Update", style: .default, handler: { _ in
        if let url = URL(string: Constants.API_REDIRECT_TO_ITUNES),
            UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url){
            UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
            
        }
    })
    
    alertController.addAction(alertActionCancel)
    alertController.addAction(alertActionUpdate)
    
    let pushedViewControllers = (self.window?.rootViewController as! UINavigationController).viewControllers
    let presentedViewController = pushedViewControllers[pushedViewControllers.count - 1]
    
    presentedViewController.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

}

Solution 8 - Ios

Swift 5.0:

import StoreKit

extension YourViewController: SKStoreProductViewControllerDelegate {
    func openStoreProductWithiTunesItemIdentifier(_ identifier: String) {
        let storeViewController = SKStoreProductViewController()
        storeViewController.delegate = self
        
        let parameters = [ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : identifier]
        storeViewController.loadProduct(withParameters: parameters) { [weak self] (loaded, error) -> Void in
            if loaded {
                self?.present(storeViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
            }
        }
    }
    private func productViewControllerDidFinish(viewController: SKStoreProductViewController) {
        viewController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

// How to use

openStoreProductWithiTunesItemIdentifier("12345")

Solution 9 - Ios

If you want to open in app store use

 let appstoreUrl =  "https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/myapp-test/id11111111?mt=8"
 UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: appstoreUrl)!)

if you want in itune store use

  let ituneUrl =  "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/in/app/myapp-test/id11111111?mt=8"
 UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: ituneUrl)!)

Solution 10 - Ios

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.2

You have two ways to open App Store or iTunes Store

If you want to open App Store use https or if you want to open iTunes Store use itms

Ex: https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/yourAppName/id14****4?mt=8 //For App Store

itms://itunes.apple.com/in/app/yourAppName/id14****4?mt=8 //For iTunes Store

Method 1: This is simple direct and old approach

let url  = NSURL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/smsdaddy/id1450172544?mt=8")//itms   https
    if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url! as URL) {
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(url! as URL)
    }

Method 2: New approach

if let url = URL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/smsdaddy/id1450172544?ls=1&mt=8") {
   if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
       UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
   } else {
       // Earlier versions
       if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url as URL) {
          UIApplication.shared.openURL(url as URL)
       }
   }
}

Solution 11 - Ios

For the new AppStore, simply open your app's link on AppStore and replace the https scheme to itms-apps scheme. Example on Swift 4:

if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-app/id12345678?ls=1&mt=8") {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}

You can find your app's link on the App Information page.

Solution 12 - Ios

Swift 5

let url = "your app url"
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
 } 
else {
    // Earlier versions 
    if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url as URL) {
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(url as URL)
    }
}

Solution 13 - Ios

For me didn't worked one of this answers. (Swift 4) The app always opened the iTunes Store not the AppStore.

I had to change the url to "http://appstore.com/%Appname%" as described at this apple Q&A: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1633/_index.html

for example like this

private let APPSTORE_URL = "https://appstore.com/keynote"
UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: self.APPSTORE_URL)!)

(remove spaces from the app-name)

Solution 14 - Ios

SwiftUI

import StoreKit

struct StoreView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {

    let appID: String
 
     
    func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<StoreView>) -> SKStoreProductViewController {
        let sKStoreProductViewController = SKStoreProductViewController()
        let parameters = [ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : appID]
        sKStoreProductViewController.loadProduct(withParameters: parameters)
        return sKStoreProductViewController
    }

    func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: SKStoreProductViewController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<StoreView>) {

    }

}

//how to use

.sheet(isPresented: $showAppAtStore){
StoreView(appID: "12345678") 
}

Solution 15 - Ios

    var url  = NSURL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1024941703")
    if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(url!) == true  {
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url!)
    }
