iOS 8.1 iPhone 6 Plus does not link to review page
ecornbower opened this issue · comments
When testing on an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1, the review url does not link to the review page but the main app overview page.
This only occurs with apps running in landscape mode. If you have a portrait app or turn the iPhone vertically before tapping the rate button, the review page will open correctly. The behavior is also correct for older iPhones and iPads running 8.1.
Not sure if we need to use a new template review url or if this is a bug in iOS 8.1 with the iPhone 6.
This is an exceedingly precise bug report. Thank you for that. :-) As for why it's not working, I couldn't tell you. I don't have a iPhone 6 Plus (or 6) to test on, but if you or someone else can figure it out, I'll happily accept a pull request.
After further testing I believe this is a bug with the iPhone 6. I've found that after the app preview page is opened in landscape mode, turning the device vertically will switch the app store into portrait mode and you will be switched over to the reviews page. So the app store knows that you are supposed to be viewing the review page, it's just not working on landscape mode. You can see a video of this behavior at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHPOe1Z_PU.
I've filed a bug report with Apple and will post any comments I receive from them. Thanks for the help!
Yes, it's weird. On my 6 plus, there's even no rate dialog. The same .app I install on simulator and 5s are both OK...
