FB14887376: `AppStore.requestReview(in:)` is not a complete alternative to the deprecated `SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()`
- Date: 2024-08-22
- Resolution: Open
- Area: StoreKit
- OS: macOS 14.5
- Type: Incorrect/Unexpected Behavior
Description
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview() is deprecated in favor of AppStore.requestReview(in:). The problem is that AppStore.requestReview(in:) requires passing in a NSViewController, and in some contexts, this is not possible. For example, a menu bar app that only has a NSMenu when you click it. It has no NSViewController that could be passed in. I suggest making the controller parameter optional.
Also part of manual request review stoped work in macOS 15.
It is alternative, but it DOES NOT WORK even if it is not marked as deprecated functionality.
All that this link do now is shows product page. Without product review sheet.
