What's the replacement for MarketplaceReviewTask in Windows Phone 8.1 Universal Apps

Question

I\'ve looked everywhere and just can\'t find a way to launch the Rate and Review from my app. Does anyone know how to launch this task on the new Windows Phone 8.1?

Answer 1

I know that this question is specifically about Windows Phone 8.1 Universal Apps. But since the main reason to build a universal app is to have one app running both on Windows Phone 8.1 and on Windows 8.1, I'd like to add, that the link is different for Windows Store Apps.

As described in MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Hh974767.aspx) the link syntax is a bit different:

To create the Windows Store protocol link, append the Package Family Name of your app to the URL:

ms-windows-store:[action]P?PFN=[Package Family Name]

You can retrieve the Package Family Name for your app either from Microsoft Visual Studio, or by visiting your app’s web-based listing page and viewing the page source.

Possible Actions:

PDP     Opens an app's listing page.

Review  Opens the "Write a review" page of an app's listing.    

Example Link to request a store review:

ms-windows-store:REVIEW?PFN=6509Knattips.StopNow_eadn2jc3headp
