Launching App Store from App in Swift

Question

I am creating an app, and I have a banner which promotes my other app. This is my code:

var barsButton : UIButton = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake((self.view.bou         


        

Answer 1

Swift 3 - XCode 8.2.1

UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id" + appStoreAppID)!)

Answer 2

Use just the short "itms://".

For Swift 3 this is the snippet:

UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "itms://itunes.apple.com/app/id" + appStoreAppID)!)

I hope this helps someone.

Cheers.

P.S. @Eric Aya was ahead of the time :)

Answer 3

Just by following older answers I couldn't make it work, so here I post my complete solution:

if let url  = NSURL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1234567890"), 
   UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
    
  UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
    }
}
