Rate This App Link to the Android Market

Your on the Mac right? get SourceTree from the mac app store, it’s a free git gui client. Create a clone repository for that git source (it’s a button) once you have it you have access to all versions of the code, including old ones, just roll back a version.

But like I said, he removed it due to support requests so please respect his wishes on that.

@brad.herman

Thanks for the tip for SourceTree.
I use git locally for all my projects and I’ve been using the command-line and GitX up until now. Although GitX has been OK, SourceTree is a big step up. Really good! [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 19991 reply_id: 79329[/import]

@brad.herman, I really appreciate your time. I`ll look into your tip.

Cheers,

Everyone,

We’ve recently added a new API called [lua]native.showPopup(“rateApp”)[/lua] that will display the “Write Review” window for your app from the app store that it was downloaded from. It supports the following app stores:

  • iTunes App Store
  • Google Play
  • Samsung App Store
  • Amazon App Store
  • Nook App Store

Here is a quick example of how to call this function.
[lua]local settings =
{
iOSAppId = “Your iOS App’s ID”,
nookAppEAN = “Your Nook App’s EAN”,
supportedAndroidStores = { “samsung”, “google”, “amazon”, “nook” },
}
native.showPopup(“rateApp”, settings)[/lua]

You only need to provide an app ID and EAN on iOS and Nook respectively. No additional information is required for Google Play, Amazon, or Samsung app stores since they use your app’s package name as the ID.

The [lua]supportedAndroidStores[/lua] setting is needed in case your app was not installed by an app store (such as via “adb install”), in which case Corona has to guess which app store it belongs to. Corona does this by hunting down all of the app stores installed on the Android device and it picks one of those stores, but only if it is in your supported list.

This new feature will be made available in daily build #907, tomorrow. We’ve also update the documentation for the [lua]native.showPopup()[/lua] function in that daily build’s API docs. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19991 reply_id: 123740[/import]

OMG thank you so much for the update! Amazing thanks! [import]uid: 29181 topic_id: 19991 reply_id: 123745[/import]

Joshua ,

Sincerely - AWESOME NEWS!!
Thank you for not forgetting this very important subject!

BTW: Will I have the option for setting “after how many times” I want to display the Rate App too? :wink:
Cheers,
Rodrigo. [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 19991 reply_id: 123744[/import]

Happy to help! We’ve definitely not forgotten about this!

This API also supports iOS 6 too. It turns out that the URL that everyone was using on older iOS versions does not work on iOS 6… but this API works on them all. :smiley:

And as an added bonus, we threw in Samsung app store support. We’ve noticed that it was becoming more popular amongst developers, such as you Rodrigo.

I’m afraid that’s a task for you. :slight_smile:
This function merely displays the popup window. It’s up to you when to display it. Or you can just invoke via “Rate this App” button on your main screen. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 19991 reply_id: 123751[/import]

Joshua my friend,

No problem. Having it implemented and iOS 6 compatible already is much welcome!
Thanks a lot for that, really! :wink:
Keep in touch,
Cheers,
Rodrigo.

Everyone,

I’m considering making a breaking change to the new [lua]native.showPopup(“rateApp”)[/lua]. It’s been noted on another forum thread that it is currently too restrictive. As it currently stands, it only allows you to rate the currently running app. We’ve received a request to change it so that you can show details of other apps that you own, such as a Lite version advertising the Full or HD version of the app. In any case, I invite you to join the discussion. Please see the link below.
