webView: open the game in App store

Other
#1

Can’t find a way to open my game page on the App store (web).

Tried this two links with the webView but get the following errors:

  1. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fun-football-tournament-soccer/id550816509?ls=1&mt=8

It just opens a blank white window (no error)

  1. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=550816509&mt=8

Get error 101: The URL can’t be shown.
Both open fine on Windows browsers.

I tried opening some other pages like my home page (www.ubj3d.com) and that works fine.
Regards,
Damir.

Not sure what you’re trying to do, but you might be better off using system.openURL( “http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fun-football-tournament-soccer/id550816509?ls=1&mt=8” )

That will open the url in mobile Safari, which will open it in the iTunes App. It exits your game, but IMO the iTunes App interface is much better on a mobile device than a web page.

Good Luck!

Thank you for your reply.

What you suggested is what I ended up with.

But still, it should work with the WebView also.
