Simple Update on App Store Ratings and Reviews in iOS 10.3

iOS 10.3 was released today. It introduced SKStoreReviewController which brought new App Store rating and reviews way to app’s users. Before that, developers use their own or third-party components to take users to App Store . We will introduce this new way with a simple example.

First, we need latest Xcode 8.3 and start a new Single View Application.
Then in ViewController.swift, import StoreKit and add one line in ViewDidLoad as following code snippet.

import StoreKit
...
override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
    }

Build and run
