In-app review and iOS 7

[lhunath]

Are we certain that reviewing using the in-app SK solution doesn't work anymore in iOS 7? Has it been tested for in-store apps? Obviously there is no documentation, but I can imagine Apple disabling this button for non-purchased builds. Note how Apple now started keeping the receipt in the bundle, too. So it could be using that to check.

I guess we do need one guinea pig to release an app and check. In the meantime, I have to leave the defaults as observed during the testing process. Affiliate Codes will never work in the in-app flow though.

Has anyone checked this recently? Still doesn't work in internal builds but I have not tried app store builds.

There should be no difference in internal builds on the device and app store builds, so if it is not working with an ad-hoc version, it is not going to work with iOS 7.x either

Actually, one thing SKStoreProductViewController could probably do this internally by checking the provisioning profile. Something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3426467/how-to-determine-at-run-time-if-app-is-for-development-app-store-or-ad-hoc-dist

That said, I built my app with App store signing and it still didn't work so I think it's just disabled.

I can confirm that StoreKit's "Write a Review" button is greyed out in released App Store apps in iOS 7.
