DAAppsViewController
DAAppsViewController
is a simple way of displaying apps from the App Store in an aesthetically similar manner. The user is able to view each app's App Store page by launching an instance of SKStoreProductViewController
. Particularly useful for showing an app developer's other apps.
Installation
- Copy over the
DAAppsViewController
folder to your project folder. - Add the StoreKit framework to your project.
#import "DAAppsViewController.h"
App Transport Security Settings
As of iOS 9.0, App Transport Security (ATS) is enforcing additional security requirements for HTTP-based networking requests. As a result, the images that DAAppsViewController
attempts to load from Apple are unable to load without the proper exceptions. To make sure that everything works as expected, make sure to add the following settings to your app's Info.plist file. If your app has NSAllowsArbitraryLoads: true
enabled, then this is unnecessary.
Usage
