How to call NSURL for Rate My App properly in xcode? - ios

Question

Im trying to put in a rate App alert, but its not opening properly, in fact when I click the Yes button it dosnt open the url at all, How do I make it work?
Below is the call in the viewdidload:
The below code in viewdidload is also in app delegate
[super viewDidLoad];
//rate app
NSUserDefaults *prefsr = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSInteger launchCount = [prefsr integerForKey:#"launchCount"];
if (launchCount >= 1) {
UIAlertView *alertRate = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Like this app?" message:#"Rate on the app store." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"No, thanks" otherButtonTitles:#"Yes",#"Remind me later", nil];
[alertRate show];
}
-(void)alertViewRate:(UIAlertView *)alertViewRate clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndexP{
if (buttonIndexP == 2) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.google.com"]];
}
else if (buttonIndexP == 1){
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.google.com"]];
}

Answer 1

Add the delegate Self while creating the UIAlertView
UIAlertView *alertRate = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Like this app?" message:#"Rate on the app store." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"No, thanks" otherButtonTitles:#"Yes",#"Remind me later", nil];
[alertRate show];
Delegate method for UIAlertView also need to be chnaged
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if (buttonIndex == 2) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.google.com"]];
}
else if (buttonIndex == 1){
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.google.com"]];
}
}

You haven't set the delegate to self while you are creating UIAlertView object. So -(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex method is not getting called when you click on buttons in the AlertView.
Change your code From
UIAlertView *alertRate = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Like this app?" message:#"Rate on the app store." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"No, thanks" otherButtonTitles:#"Yes",#"Remind me later", nil];
To
UIAlertView *alertRate = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Like this app?" message:#"Rate on the app store." delegate:self. cancelButtonTitle:#"No, thanks" otherButtonTitles:#"Yes",#"Remind me later", nil];
