The simulator has no app store; none of them will work.
You want a link like this:
That’ll work on the device, but not the simulator. There’s another variation that lets you specify the company name, too. The link will go to Safari first, which will a moment later open App Store without the user needing to do anything.

You can try using a itms+apps style link, like this:
This will skip launching Safari first, and just go straight to App Store. While this currently works, I’m not sure it’s documented anywhere. I plan on trying this, and I’ll update this answer later if I’m approved.
