I'm having an issue with grabbing the App Store ID from my plist, and using it with Appirater. I NSLogged the URL that was being used when the user pushes "Rate Now", and the App Store ID is way different from the App Store ID I set in Info.plist. No idea where it is getting these numbers from -- they are a different set of 9 numbers each time. This is really strange.
The code in Appirater.m that deals with grabbing the App Store ID and using it in the link looks like this: NSString *const kAppiraterAppIdBundleKey = @"AppStoreId";
NSString *templateReviewURL = @"itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=APP_ID";
....
+ (NSString*)appStoreAppID {
NSString* value = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:kAppiraterAppIdBundleKey];
NSAssert1(value, @"Error - you have not specified %@ property in your info.plist", kAppiraterAppIdBundleKey);
return value;
}
//...
+ (void)rateApp {
//...
NSString *reviewURL = [templateReviewURL stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"APP_ID" withString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [self appStoreAppID]]];
//...
}
I added a field in the plist called "AppStoreId", and entered the 9 digit code. I made it a string type. Now, the code runs perfectly when I replace "APP_ID" with the actual 9 digit code in that iTunes link above, but when I keep it as APP_ID, I get the error "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store.", and the NSLog output has 9 random numbers in the link, and again, they are different each time.
This is probably an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Random numbers? You're using:
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [self appStoreAppID]]
where appStoreAppID is an NSString.
So you're replacing "APP_ID" with the pointer to the NSString, not the contents of the NSString.
Just use %@ instead of %d.
