Was discussing this in another post but wanted to post if not read. Apple is rejecting my app due to App Store Viewer plugin not working for them. I'm wondering how I can link a menu button in my app to open a link for the App Store. So: Person is on main menu of my app. Clicks on button. Opens link to App Store outside of app. Basically I want my app to have a link to another one of apps currently for sale. Thanks! Title Comments Hello all.

That may be so, but I've always felt better if I just didn't show anything until 'after' the app is approved. then I reconnect any links I disconnected for the approval process...

As far as the custom url plugin, I was thinking that but reading the plugin notes it says the app will get rejected if linking the App Store. Anyone have this?

Niraj buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 2943 Reg: Jul 11, 2012 Cerritos 37,930	05/13/15 11:39 AM (9 years ago) Wonder why they are getting a blank screen? Do they have a different BT config file? Perhaps it pulls automatically from the BuzzTouch server upon launch. Is it pulling the Test or Live versions of the BT config file? Comments Wonder why they are getting a blank screen?

I assume since they are testing on devices with internet connections(which I had them verify) that they would be getting live version. Maybe I'm wrong. I've tested it via xcode on my iphone as well as through Testflight with no issues. Had someone else test it and they had no issues either. I went round and round with them on it. Don't think they're going to budge since they keep getting blank/black screen. Comments Niraj, Good question.
