(Pro Users) Good Option for Adding a URL to Rate or Review your Game in the First Version of the APP

jdgould

To avoid needing to submit another version, once you get the APP ID, in order to have the rate / review my game functionality you can create a redirect HTML page if you have a website. You can simply build the functionality in your first version of the game and in place of the link to your App on itunes, you can create a link to your webpage that just redirects users to your App on itunes. If you have a website, you can quickly add a hyprlink to your App page once you get the App ID number.

In other words, when creating my first game, I used a page on my website to link to if the user wants to rate my game. I created a blank HTML page in my website and just updated the URL to redirect the user to my App on iTunes once the App is approved and I got the App ID (See Below).

[meta http-equiv="REFRESH"
content="0;url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/milkshake-shop-deluxe/id529677771?ls=1&mt=8"]

Replace brackets ( [ ) with greater than less than signs ( < , > )

I hope that makes sense...

ahhh... wasn't trying to take credit if it was brought up before, I wish I would have found Photics post before I submitted my first App.

Thanks uptimistik

Well, you can get your App ID even if you haven't published the app.

As soon as you create the app in iTC you will be assigned an App ID and that will be the same as the published app.

Thanks Mark, it sounds like I can skip that step!
