I wonder that if i can set custom title in SKStoreReviewController?
I read the apple document and search a lot in google
But I didn't find solution
What can I do if I want to implement the pop view like image above
No, you can't do it with SKStoreReviewController. Some apps make a custom one but can't send the ratings to the App Store.
According to Apple Documentation:
The SKStoreReviewController API lets you give users an easy way to
provide feedback about your app. You can prompt for ratings up to
three times in a 365-day period. Users will submit a rating through
the standardized prompt, and can write and submit a review without
leaving the app.
It means you can only show a standardized prompt. However, you can create a custom prompt and redirect the user to your app in the app store.

In iOS 10, I was able to forward directly from my app to its App Store ratings page by using the following link:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=app_id_here&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=2&type=Purple+Software&mt=8
However, in iOS 11 with its all-new App Store where the review page doesn't exist any longer, this seems to be broken now.
Does anyone know an alternative url that opens up the review creator page directly? Or does Apple want us to stop using such links?
You need to add a name after the app parameter of your url (here I use 'itunes-u') :
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-u/id\(appID)?ls=1&mt=8&action=write-review
Also note that the scheme seems to be working properly so you could instead call :
itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-u/id\(appID)?ls=1&mt=8&action=write-review
What you should do is implement the SKStoreReviewController for IOS 10.3 and higher.
It's super simple,
import StoreKit
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
It turns out that the system will automatically limit the display of the dialog to 3 times over a 365-day period, so there’s no logic required to check this.
There is however a recommendation that you show the prompts at ‘logical points’ when it is clear the user has made some sort of engagement within the app.
The guides also say you should allow a week or two between repeated displays of the prompt so users don’t feel like they’re being pestered(this will require some thoughtfulness and implementation on your part).

First, according to apple guidelines you shouldn't do this,
but you can just add to itunes link of your game &action=write-review and just open this link.
I'm taking a look at the new requestReview() API that uses SKStoreReviewController. The documents state:
"Although you should call this method when it makes sense in the user experience flow of your app, the actual display of a rating/review request view is governed by App Store policy. Because this method may or may not present an alert, it's not appropriate to call it in response to a button tap or other user action."
Does anyone have any experience using this API. What exactly are the factors that determine if the rating view is shown or not? I'm guessing it's not shown if called too frequently.. Anybody have any insight on this? Thanks!
You're right that it won't show if called too frequently.
SKStoreReviewController will only allow prompting a user to review your application 3 times at most, even if you ship more versions than that during the year.
There might be more restrictions beneath the surface as well.

According to iOS Human Interace Guildelines
The system automatically limits the display of the prompt to three occurrences per app within a 365-day period.
I have integrated facebook SDK in ios,and now want to use like action. For this, I have used like logo of facebook but this is rejected with following message-
"Please address the following feedback from our review team. Once you have made the changes listed below you may resubmit for review.
Thanks for making changes to your submission. This action type still doesn’t meet our criteria to become available to users. Here are the remaining changes that you need to make to your action type: Your button branding doesn’t follow Section 5.6 of the Facebook Terms and Section I.8 of the Platform Policy: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/policy/examples_and_explanations/branding/ The graphics must reflect your own branding and the user experience of your site. Learn more about branding: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/submission-process/#uex."
If I will use like button as my application theme, then how user will know that he is going to like on facebook.
According to facebook
You can use the Built-in Like action to create custom buttons in your
app, but the button must not emulate or otherwise copy the design of
Facebook’s Like buttons. For example, you may not use a “thumbs up”
image with the word “like” in your Open Graph actions without prior
written permission from Facebook, and any custom like button you
create must not confuse users into thinking that your Open Graph
action will result in a connection to a Facebook Page.
They have clearly stated that "you may not use a “thumbs up” image with the word “like”"
So what's best thing which you can do ??
just a thumbs Up button.
You may not be allowed to use same button as Facebook has, as per Apple's guidlines.
So, in that case, you can put the same button but with different color OR you can even change the sign of fingers and make a little change in the icon. It will create an impression of Facebook like button but it is not exactly same as it.
Is there a service that allows me to put a form on my site that will send a link to my iOS app to a user?
User goes to my site
User inserts their cell phone number in a field
User receives a text message with the link to download my app
Does this make sense? Is there a better way? I've seen this before but can't remember where...
Currently do people really just take out their iPhones, open the app store, search for the app name to download it?
PS: Before posting I searched Google and this site but didn't find any answer.
Not quite what you're looking for, but probably a lot easier for you to do: You could create a QR-Code that contains a link to your app in the App Store. Then people can scan it with their phones (there are tons of popular apps that can do this), and when it opens the URL, the user will be redirected to the app store.
Just use the https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/[...] link from iTunesConnect for your app.
I'm trying to integrate twitter in iOS5 app.
Using Twitter framework in my app, can I post the message in the background?
I know that using TWTweetComposeViewController, it will show a view and then it will post.
Is this possible?
The answer is no. The whole point of having the View Controller is to allow the User to see and dictate what exactly will be posted without interference from the App apart from the initial text which the user also has the option to change. It stops apps abusing the Twitter accounts from posting spam etc.
The Apple Documentation clearly states:
Although you may perform Twitter requests on behalf of the user, you cannot append text, images, or URLs to tweets without the user’s knowledge. Hence, you can set the initial text and other content before presenting the tweet to the user but cannot change the tweet after the user views it.
You can't do this using TWTweetComposeViewController. You can do this using TWRequest provided the user authorizes your app to access their Twitter account(s).
