Open AppStore through button

Question

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

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@\"itms://itunes.apple.com         


        

Answer 1

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)
