How to Add Link preview to app store connect? - ios

It is my first tile that I try to send my app to app store review.
but i have received this message from apple team
"Provide a link to the video in the App Review Information section of your app’s page in App Store Connect and reply to this message. You can use a screen recorder to capture footage of your app in use. Note that if your app can only be reviewed with a demo video, you’ll need to provide an updated demo video for every app submission."
it is clear that i need to add a video preview of my app.
But i still confident how to provide this link?
And how to add this video i see in app store connect the field attachment it is the corresponding field?enter image description here

Upload the video to YouTube (or any hosting of your preference) as unlisted and share the link in the app review notes.
Did that with one of my apps and the review went smoothly.

Is there still a way to open an iTunes search API trackViewUrl in iTunes Store and not Apple Music?

Following this question we can get a JSON response from the iTunes Search API to direct users to the trackViewUrl. The answer suggested appending &app=itunes to have the iOS device open the URL in the iTunes Store instead of Apple Music, but my test suggests that this doesn't work and Apple Music is still opened.
For instance, the first item of the result of:
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=pink+floyd%20high%20hopes
shows a trackViewUrl of:
https://music.apple.com/us/album/high-hopes/1067444712?i=1067444898&uo=4,
with the appended request is:
https://music.apple.com/us/album/high-hopes/1067444712?i=1067444898&uo=4&app=itunes
However, this link opens Apple Music on an iOS device.
Is there a way to open the iTunes Store instead? Or another way to open the iTunes Store to a specific track? I need DRM free tracks.
The correct way of doing this now is with StoreKit.

Is it possible to share an iOS clips app via web link in an email?

I'm looking to create an iOS clip app which I would like to share with my users.
Is it possible to share an iOS clip app via sending the user a link in an email?
According to this Apple forum it is not possible to send the link in an email.
The app clip URL only launches the app clip from one of the mentioned
invocations. This means that sharing an app clip URL through the Mail
app doesn't work.

Confused about Facebook review process

I am trying to develop an iOS app which can pull your Facebook videos. Very similar to this the Android app except the video download part. For this I need user_videos permission and for that my app should go through the app review process. Now they are asking for App Video and App runtime. I can give them but that has nothing but fb login screens with no videos. How should I proceed with this app?
EDIT:
I created a dummy app and submitted the runtime for it. Video here
Now as I dont have the user_video permission, I can only show placeholder videos (as shown in video). I explained my situation to them, and their reply was:
"Developers can configure a test user that has granted tokens for the requested permission. Please submit your app after you have incorporated the requested permission."
A test user is not allowed to get tagged or upload a video. And graph API also gives error in case I try to do that. How a test user can solve my problem here?
Facebook people are sometimes anxious to know if your app is not using any content that will violate facebook content policy. Just make a simple video of your two screens and they will approve the app in a short period.
Update
Following are the steps on facebook developer dashboard which will show you how to upload the video for review of your app.
Status and review -> Click on add notes in App detail section -> Enter the steps to be reproduced by facebook review team -> upload a screencast (Refer https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/review/examples#screencast )

How to include link to app in Facebook Post?

I have an IOS app that posts a link to facebook.
Is it possible to have that link point to the app store?
So basically I have a player playing my game, they post their highscore. Their friend sees this post on their friends wall, the click it, takes them to download the app.
The trouble is, how can I get the link to point to the app store if the app isn't published and has no ID when I'm coding the actual app?
Then finish app and publish it, and after that update the link.
Before uploading the app, obviously you will add it to the iTunesconnect.
In iTunesConnect, you will get the app ID for your app when you will add it.
Use the following format to link it to your app :
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id[app_apple_id]
[app_apple_id] : Replace this (along with square brackets) with the app ID, that you will get after adding the app to iTunesConnect.

launching an itune music link in app browser NOT the itunes app~

hi my app has links to an itunes music album
like this
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/better-than-a-hallelujah/id366013643?i=366013659&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
when they click the link in my app, i want to open it in my app (i have a uiwebview), problem is that it launches the uiwebview in my app, but the page is blank, the address bar is also blank, i.e. it doesn't contain the address http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/better-than-a-hallelujah/id366013643?i=366013659&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
i think it is because it is trying to launch the itunes app in the simulator/device
but i don't care, i want the http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/better-than-a-hallelujah/id366013643?i=366013659&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 to load in the browser and display the content like you would in the desktop browser.
please help thanks
As I got from your question, you need to display the album data in your app. For doing that I suggest you two ways.
First solution is to use NSURLRequest with the url and download it's data and load the html in the webview. (you may change the User-Agent too if you wanted to get the desktop version of the page.
The second one is using iTunes API to get album data from iTunes Store as JSON and then display the data in your custom view.
You can get more information on iTunes Store API here
Hope it helps. :)
