I use the Facebook API for iOS, which enables posting content to the Facebook wall. The API allows custom links to be added next to “Like” and “Comment”. I would like to add “Get App” here which links to my app on App Store, but how do I do this when my App ID will not be known to be before the app is actually approved? (“Chicken-and-egg” situation)
Possible solutions:
A) Link to a temporary URL which is changed to the App Store link after approval
B) Wait until version 1.1 to add this, when the App ID is known
Is there any other way to accomplish this?
You get an App ID once you create an app in iTunes Connect. That means you get the ID before you publish the app and it doesn’t change when the app goes trough review or publishing process. I’m not able to make a screenshot right now, but it’s easily found in top left corner when you click on manage apps > your app.
