Appirater not working in iOS7 beta

[Trond Rossvoll]

I´m testing iOS 7 beta 5 and appirater onsly sends me to a blank screen in the iPhone app store.
Is this working for anyone else? I´m guessing they changed the link...

[Arash Payan]

I haven't tested it, but it wouldn't surprise me. I'd like to wait until iOS 7 goes gold before trying to address something like this, because the betas are always a mess.

With the release of iOS7 it appears the problem hasnt gone away and it still fails with a blank screen ... i have seen this on other peoples apps as well as my own.

I want to echo this problem as well. Link is not working in iOS 7.

if you search stackoverflow for "link to app store ios 7" you'll see
the format you need to use now. open up Appirater.m and you can fix it
yourself.

Ben, thanks that really helped. Since even the correct external link cannot link to the review section anymore (so it seems), I ended up switching to using SKStoreProductViewController to pull up the app store in-app.

However, I am finding that I cannot physically press the button "Write a Review" in this modal view! Have you or anyone else noticed this??? Every other button works in the modal view except that button.

i'm not using SKStore... but rather just the url to itms, and the
write a review button works fine for me.

Just released 2.0.2 that fixes the blank app store page and the disabled 'write a review' button.

The disabled 'write a review' button bug is still there for me even in the new version.

Any ideas?

Are you calling [Appirater setOpenInAppStore:NO]? If so, that would force usage of the StoreKit UI and the disabled 'Write a Review' button on iOS7. The StoreKit UI is now only a useful option in iOS6 because of Apple's change.

Leave setOpenInAppStore to it's default value and everything should work optimally.

Hi, i'm using the ver. 2.0.2 and has the same problem of blank screen on iOS 7. I've set the language to italian and i'm not using [Appirater setOpenInAppStore:NO]

How can i fix it ?

[Arash Payan]

Has your app been published yet? If not, you will see a blank screen when you try to review your app.

[Bernhard Obereder]

Same here.

Newest version and app is already published!

This is my code:

    [Appirater setAppId:@"APP_ID"];

    [Appirater setDaysUntilPrompt:0];

    [Appirater setUsesUntilPrompt:5];

    [Appirater setDebug:NO];

    

    [Appirater setDelegate:self];

    [Appirater appLaunched:YES];

best regards

You need to specify your app id in the `setAppId` method. The code you pasted shows that you're still using the sample string from the documentation.

I took the latest (as of 1/2/2014), and "Write a Review" button is still disabled for me.
I am not calling setOpenInAppStore, and using the default value.

    [Appirater setAppId:ITUNES_APP_ID];
    [Appirater setDaysUntilPrompt:[[Constants instance].appiratorDaysUntilPrompt doubleValue]];
    [Appirater setUsesUntilPrompt:[[Constants instance].appiratorUsesUntilPrompt doubleValue]];
    [Appirater setSignificantEventsUntilPrompt:[[Constants instance].appiratorSignificantEventsUntilPrompt doubleValue]];
    [Appirater setTimeBeforeReminding:[[Constants instance].appiratorDaysBeforeReminding doubleValue]];
    //[Appirater setOpenInAppStore:YES];

If I call setOpenInAppStore:YES, then it takes me to App Store, but the screen is blank.

My app is already in the app store and the app id is all correct.

Any idea, what could be the issue?

Thanks
Amit

I take it back. Just 1 more step I had to do to make it work....Clean the project. Running without cleaning was not taking the latest code.
After cleaning, it works as expected.

Thanks
Amit
