skstoreproductviewcontroller: how to open "rating and review" at launch

Question

I see some tutorial about SKStoreProductViewController, such as: Open a list of my apps in the App Store within my App

However, it always opens SKStoreProductViewController with "Details" at launch, how can I open "rating and review" programmatically

Mancuso

This appears to not be possible in iOS6. But the iOS5 solution of calling the URL does appear to launch the App Store in the rating page #3654644 – Lassitude

What about IOS 8.4. Any luck? – Intravasation

Below code snippet will open the reviews & ratings section on native AppStore app

struct AppStoreURLs {
    static let templateReviewURLiOS8 = "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=%@&onlyLatestVersion=true&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=1&type=Purple+Software"
}


func showAppReivewScreen(_ appId: String?)  {

        guard let applicaitonIdentifier = appId, (applicaitonIdentifier.isEmpty == false) else { return }

                let reivewURL = String(format: AppStoreURLs.templateReviewURLiOS8, applicaitonIdentifier)

        if let url = URL(string: reivewURL), UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {

            if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
                UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionUniversalLinksOnly : false], completionHandler: nil)
            } else {
                UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
            }
        }

    }

call this function using application identifier

self.showAppReivewScreen("951627022")
