[Solved]How to link to App Store with showWebPopup

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I can’t seem to link directly to the App Store using:

native.showWebPopup(“http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/appname/id111111?mt=8&uo=4”)

Can someone point me in the right direction to do this? Unexplored territory. :slight_smile: I am using showWebPopup on my credits page, although I am linking to a local web page to handle the "close"ing of the form, but in this case I would just like to go on over to the App Store.

Also, is the “us” going to be an issue. [import]uid: 21331 topic_id: 24440 reply_id: 324440[/import]

NP! Is this the cleanest way? I notice that it goes from Safari, then iTunes, then App Store. Thought my Pad was wigg’in out for a minute, but then noticed the progression. [import]uid: 21331 topic_id: 24440 reply_id: 98969[/import]

Uhm I’m sure that can be avoided, actually - where’s that thread… Found it!

See my first post. I believe that should do the trick without going through Safari :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24440 reply_id: 99061[/import]

I know it can be a lot of reading but in this case the first post (from me) should still do the trick AFAIK :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24440 reply_id: 99164[/import]

Oh most definitely, had a moment of “look at the final picture of the swing set then put it together without reading the instructions” … Lol!

As always, your advise was spot on!
I just need to read ALL of the instructions hahaha
