The itms-apps: URL syntax doesn’t work on the simulator but works fine on the device, so that’s probably the only thing wrong with your code and if you try it on a device it will work fine.

Unrelated tip: You can concatenate strings using the stringByAppendingString: and stringByAppendingFormat: methods, that will save some code versus the way you are building your string currently.
