App rating feature on a new game (not an update) possible?

POM · May 2011

Hey guys ,
in this video :

The GS guy say that we cant use this feature in a new game but only on an update because we don't have the app id , but once you create a new game in iTunes connect your game DO get an app ID , so why cant we just use it in the initial release?

Have you checked if the id that is assigned when you create a new game on iTunes is the same one as the one when the game is published?

If they are then you can include it in the first release.

On the other hand if they are different you can link to the main game page and then let the user scroll to the review page. In this case the link is just replace developer with the your name and app with the app name and it should redirect to the app page. Somewhere on the apple dev site there are all the rules for the iTunes links, you can also check this site:

The id stays the same , apple just approved and its id is the same as the id they assigned when creating a new app.
so i don't see any reason not to use app rating system in the initial release .

Well that's great news!

Thank you very much for sharing this info. I hope this will lead to many more good user reviews for GS games.
