POOdd behavior with SKStoreProductViewController
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to use SKStoreProductViewController to open the App Store modally within my app. I have looked at many examples on the web, and there are two ways people are doing this.</p> <pre><code> SKStoreProductViewController *storeController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init]; [storeController setDelegate:self]; //set product parameters //must be a number wrapped in a string NSDictionary *productParameters = @{ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : @"36372693196"}; [storeController loadProductWithParameters:productParameters completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError *error) { if (result) { //show [self presentViewController:storeController animated:YES completion:nil]; }else { NSLog(@"ERROR WITH STORE CONTROLLER %@\n", error.description); //redirect to app store //[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[[self class] appStoreURL]]; } }]; </code></pre> <p>If I do it this way ^^ nothing happens. The if (result) or else statement within the block is never executed.</p> <p>I also see people passing in nil for the completion block, and presenting the view controller modally immediately after this like below:</p> <pre><code> SKStoreProductViewController *storeController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init]; [storeController setDelegate:self]; //set product parameters //must be a number wrapped in a string NSDictionary *productParameters = @{ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : @"36372693196"}; [storeController loadProductWithParameters:productParameters completionBlock:nil]; [self presentViewController:storeController animated:YES completion:nil]; </code></pre> <p>When I present the view controller, the code inside the block for loadProductWithParameters executes. I am extremely confused at this point..How do I check for success or failure if the block isn't run until after I present it.</p> <p>Lastly, I read you should execute the loadProductWithParameters in a background thread. I tried this as well. The second option is the only one that brought up the modal - with a Cannot connect to iTunes message from the simulator and device. I have tried multiple app ids. What is going on? How do I get this working?</p>
