I wish to add some sort of a "Write a Review" or "Rate Us" feature to my app so my customers can easily rate and review my app.
The problem is that the app is implemented using phone gap. Is it possible to implement this feature using html5-phone gap?
Thanks!
I use navigator.notification.confirm and have it called when the user reaches a certain point or uses your app so much. Of course you need to add your own links in.
Note this snippet references other parts of my app so customize to meet your needs.
if (settings.core.rate_app_counter === 10) {
navigator.notification.confirm(
'If you enjoy using domainsicle, whould you mind taking a moment to rate it? It won\'t take more than a minute. Thanks for your support!',
function(button) {
// yes = 1, no = 2, later = 3
if (button == '1') { // Rate Now
if (device_ios) {
window.open('itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/domainsicle-domain-name-search/id511364723?ls=1&mt=8'); // or itms://
} else if (device_android) {
window.open('market://details?id=<package_name>');
} else if (device_bb){
window.open('http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/<applicationid>');
}
this.core.rate_app = false;
} else if (button == '2') { // Later
this.core.rate_app_counter = 0;
} else if (button == '3') { // No
this.core.rate_app = false;
}
}, 'Rate domainsicle', ['Rate domainsicle', 'Remind me later', 'No Thanks']);
}
You can checkout http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker
Also see the section about creating a URL directly to the review page of your app.
http://www.manicgaming.com/2010/12/make-your-app-easy-to-rate/
And finally:
App store link for "rate/review this app"
FYI, rate this app alerts were specifically discouraged in the wwdc '11 talks.
You must call window.open as follows
window.open("market://details?id=com.your.app","_system");
There is now a plugin just for that https://github.com/pushandplay/cordova-plugin-apprate

I am using SendPayment intent for payment domain app. Basically, it shows two screens:-
1) Send Mooney
2) Money sent
Since the same intent view controller is shown for both the flows, can anybody share some tips how change the "Send Money" intent View by "Money Sent" view.
Also, in apple documentation, its written to use childViewController, but wondering on what basis it has to be used as in configure method, intenthandlingstatus is "undefined" always.
func configure(with interaction: INInteraction!, context: INUIHostedViewContext, completion: ((CGSize) -> Void)!) {
// here interaction.intentHandlingStatus allways shows undefined
}
Please suggest.
Thanks
I haven't found any variables that are set by Apple to be able to tell the difference between the confirm step and the send step.
However if you structure your data correctly, there is a way to indirectly get this working.
Apple requires you to setup a PaymentRecord and attach it to each IntentResponse in confirmSendPayment:completion and handleSendPayment:completion:
What I am doing is I set the payment status to Pending in the confirm step and then to Completed in the handle step. So I can use the following code in the UI extension to show the proper UI for what step I am on:
INSendPaymentIntent *sendPaymentIntent = (INSendPaymentIntent *)interaction.intent;
INSendPaymentIntentResponse *sendPaymentResponse = (INSendPaymentIntentResponse *)interaction.intentResponse;
if (sendPaymentResponse.paymentRecord.status == INPaymentStatusPending) {
// Confirm step
[self setupUI:sendPaymentIntent forView:self.previewView];
self.previewView.hidden = false;
self.completeView.hidden = true;
} else if (sendPaymentResponse.paymentRecord.status == INPaymentStatusCompleted) {
// Action performed step
[self setupUI:sendPaymentIntent forView:self.completeView];
self.previewView.hidden = true;
self.completeView.hidden = false;
}
I pulling my hair out trying to figure out where I have gone wrong.
I created a very simple app for ios that uses webView to load certain webpages within app. from my knowledge and every ios air webView reference I have found online I have coded everything correctly. Runs beautifully on android.
apple app review says every tab and/or button launches mobile Safari.?
I don't see how this is possible because they even said my button that only has gotoAndPlay(2); apparently that navigates to Safari also. ?
here's the code I used for webView:
QMBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, QMB);
function QMB(event:MouseEvent):void
{
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 135, stage.stageWidth, 600 );
webView.stage = this.stage;
webView.loadURL( "http://mywebpageeurl.com.au" );
whiteBOX.gotoAndStop(2);
}
and this is the code for my internal frame nav.
Menu_BTN2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GoMenuSRC);
function GoMenuSRC(event:MouseEvent):void
{
webView.stage = null;
whiteBOX.gotoAndStop(1);
}
Am I missing something or ????
The only other thing I could think could be the culprit might be my error handler to handle errors when I click tel: or mailto: links on my webpages.
The code for the tel: / mailto: error handling.
// Error handle
var openLinksInDefaultBrowser = false;
//Check tel: func
function cdCTfunc():void
{
var NEWtelLNK = webView.location.substr(0,4);
if (NEWtelLNK=='tel:')
{
openLinksInDefaultBrowser = true;
}else{openLinksInDefaultBrowser = false;}
}
webView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGING, function (ev:LocationChangeEvent):void
{
cdCTfunc();
if(openLinksInDefaultBrowser == false)
{
ev.preventDefault();
webView.loadURL(ev.location); //'ev.url' changed to 'ev.location'started with prerelease build - [07/20/10]
}
if (openLinksInDefaultBrowser == true)
{
trace('page loaded in default browser');
var phStr:String=ev.location;
var callPH:URLRequest= new URLRequest(phStr);
navigateToURL(callPH);
}
});
webView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE, function (ev:LocationChangeEvent):void
{
if (webView.location.indexOf('authentication_complete') != -1)
{
trace('auth token is: ' + webView.location.substr(webView.location.indexOf('token=') + 6));
}
trace('the new location is: ' + webView.location);
trace(webView.location.substr(0,4));
});
webView.addEventListener('complete', function(ev:Event):void
{
trace('complete event');
});
webView.addEventListener('error', function(ev:ErrorEvent):void
{
var phStr:String=webView.location;
var callPH:URLRequest= new URLRequest(phStr);
navigateToURL(callPH);
webView.isHistoryBackEnabled;
webView.historyBack();
trace('SOME Bloody Error Loading The Page: ' + ev.text);
trace(openLinksInDefaultBrowser);
});
but I still don't see how this could cause a gotoAndStop(); to launch safari.
I am absolutely stumped.
Please Help?
Thank you in advance.
Before submitting your app for review you should run it through Testflight.
This allows you to test an 'AppStore' build of your binary so you will see exactly what the reviewer will see.

I am working on vungle video integration in cocos 2d and and running the ad successfully.
In app i want to provide some points for watching video.. which i can set up.. but the problem is how to check whether the user has watched the video or close it ..
https://v.vungle.com/dev/ios
I am using the above help.. but not able to make it work..Please help me in checking whether app is ads are close or watched completely
- (void)vungleSDKwillCloseAdWithViewInfo:(NSDictionary *)viewInfo willPresentProductSheet:(BOOL)willPresentProductSheet {
//Verify that the view was completed before rewarding the user
BOOL completedView = [[viewInfo valueForKey:#"completedView"] boolValue];
if (completedView) {
//View was successfully completed, do your stuff...
}
}
Few months back I did use vungle. Check below code, that worked for me
-(void)vungleMoviePlayed:(VGPlayData*)playData
{
if(playData.movieTotal == playData.movieViewed)
{
printf("Video fully watched\n");
mSeenVungleVideo = true;
}
else
{
printf("Player aborted video at middle\n");
}
}
This seems to have changed since NatureFriend's answer. It's now:
- (void)vungleSDKwillCloseAdWithViewInfo:(NSDictionary*)viewInfo willPresentProductSheet:(BOOL)willPresentProductSheet;
{
// video done here.
}
It's possible at this point it will show a "Product Sheet". If you want to know when that closes, you can implement this delegate:
- (void)vungleSDKwillCloseProductSheet:(id)productSheet
{
// product sheet closed here
}
Is there any way to handle back button (device backbutton) as default functionality to move back page? I need to implement the same functionality on back button goes to previous page. If there is no previous page (first page) it exit the application. Is this possible in PhoneGap?
I also need to pop page before going to push another page is this posible in jQuery?
Checking window.location.length would be the easiest way to determine if you're on the first page, but this isn't available in Phonegap.
But since you're using JQM, you can either use the navigate event as Omar suggests or could manually count the number of pages shown and the number of pages gone back (same thing) and use this to determine if the first page is being shown and whether to exit the app. Something like this would work:
var pageHistoryCount = 0;
var goingBack = false;
$(document).bind("pageshow", function(e, data) {
if (goingBack) {
goingBack = false;
} else {
pageHistoryCount++;
console.log("Showing page #"+pageHistoryCount);
}
});
function exitApp() {
console.log("Exiting app");
navigator.app.exitApp();
}
function onPressBack(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if(pageHistoryCount > 0) pageHistoryCount--;
if (pageHistoryCount == 0) {
navigator.notification.confirm("Are you sure you want to quit?", function(result){
if(result == 2){
exitApp();
}else{
pageHistoryCount++;
}
}, 'Quit My App', 'Cancel,Ok');
} else {
goingBack = true;
console.log("Going back to page #"+pageHistoryCount);
window.history.back();
}
}
function deviceready() {
$(document).bind('backbutton', onPressBack);
}
$(document).bind('deviceready', deviceready);
As for the second part of your question:
Secondly i need to pop page before going to push another page is this
posible in jquery ?
It's not clear what you're asking here. Do you mean you want to show some kind of popup content like a dialog between every page change? Please clarify then I can help you :-)
If a user visits my websites example, from Safari Mobile how could I place there a blank page that says "Add To Homescreen."? Once added it would show different content.
You'll want to check two things. First, is it running on an iOS device? Second, is window.navigator.standalone == true?
window.navigator.standalone is primarily used by Webkit browsers to indicate the app is in fullscreen (or standalone) mode. Plenty of devices (like phones running Android), support this property, but don't have the option to 'Add to Homescreen' like iOS devices do, so you need to check both.
Demo:
Javascript:
function isIOS() {
var userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
return /iphone|ipad|ipod/.test( userAgent );
};
function isStandalone() {
return ( isIOS() && window.navigator.standalone );
};
window.onload = function () {
if( isStandalone() || !isIOS() ) { //either ios+standalone or not ios
//start app
} else {
//display add to homescreen page
};
};
Check window.navigator.standalone.
Slight slight different code, based on #ThinkingStiff solution, and this other question on this Post, to support IOS7 detection to provide CSS interface to add more padding-top in case of transparent app title.
isIOS7 = function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPad|iPhone|iPod touch);.*CPU.*OS 7_\d/i);
};
isStandaloneAndIOS7 = function() {
return isIOS7() && window.navigator.standalone;
};
if (isStandaloneAndIOS7()) {
body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
body.className = body.className + " standalone";
}
