In-App-Rating with stars, without opening appStore

Question

I want people to rate my app with stars inside the app itself, so without a SKStoreProductView (or whatever). So if they tap "rate" then there is an extra view where they can rate my app with 1 to 5 stars. How do i implement that?

thanks a lot

Answer 1

Possible Now after iOS 10.3+

The SKStoreReviewController allows users to rate an app directly from within the app through a dialog box. The only downsite is that you can only request StoreKit to display the dialog, but can't be sure if it will.

Swift

import StoreKit

func someFunction() {
   SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
}

Objective-C

#import <StoreKit/StoreKit.h>

-(void)someFunction {
    [SKStoreReviewController requestReview];
}

SKStoreReviewController not working

It is only enabled after the app is downloaded from the app store.

During development, or even release build, it is grayed out.

Was not possible until recent iOS, there was no API.
