App fails to open app store

[thomashrabe]

I guess I am missing something in my implementation, I see the promt questions but then when I click yes it fails in the simulator. Is it expected to fail in the simulator?

ionic --version
6.10.1

const appRatePreferences: AppRatePreferences = {
      displayAppName: 'XYZ',
      simpleMode: true,
      usesUntilPrompt: 1,
      storeAppURL: {
        ios: 'XYZ',
        android: 'market://details?id=ZYX'
      },
      customLocale: {
        title: 'Would you mind rating XYZ?',
        message: 'If you like XYZ, please help us spread the word!',
        cancelButtonLabel: 'No, Thanks',
        laterButtonLabel: 'Remind Me Later',
        rateButtonLabel: 'Rate It Now',
        yesButtonLabel: 'Yes!',
        noButtonLabel: 'Nah',
        appRatePromptTitle: 'Do you like using XYZ',
        feedbackPromptTitle: 'If you like XYZ, please help us spread the word!',
      }
    };
    this.appRate.setPreferences(appRatePreferences);

Same problem, (I only try with intern Test in play store though). Did you find a fix ?

Finally after reading all the doc :) it finally is working with InAppReview

[thomashrabe]

No, I wrote my own plugin, currently working on getting Android up. iOS works well. Very bare bone implementation.
https://github.com/thomashrabe/AppRate
I did not bother to get the plugin conflicts resolved over time...

Hi, I'm facing the same issue.... tried to use your code here:

const appRatePreferences: AppRatePreferences = {
        displayAppName: 'XYZ',
        simpleMode: true,
        usesUntilPrompt: 1,
        reviewType: {android:AppRateReviewTypeAndroid.InAppReview},
        storeAppURL: {

          android: 'market://details?id=my.package.name'
        },
        customLocale: {
          title: 'Would you mind rating XYZ?',
          message: 'If you like XYZ, please help us spread the word!',
          cancelButtonLabel: 'No, Thanks',
          laterButtonLabel: 'Remind Me Later',
          rateButtonLabel: 'Rate It Now',
          yesButtonLabel: 'Yes!',
          noButtonLabel: 'Nah',
          appRatePromptTitle: 'Do you like using XYZ',
          feedbackPromptTitle: 'If you like XYZ, please help us spread the word!',
        }
      };
      this.appRate.setPreferences(appRatePreferences);

but I always get this error:

ultima-estrazione:9842 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'open')
    at Object.openUrl (ultima-estrazione:9842:28)
    at AppRate.navigateToAppStore (ultima-estrazione:10090:21)
    at promptForStoreRatingWindowButtonClickHandler (ultima-estrazione:9883:17)
    at Object.callbackFromNative (ultima-estrazione:1608:52)
    at <anonymous>:1:9

when the plugin try to open the url or nothing happens if I set InAppReview

I read that @laf1greg make it works...
Could you help/share some code?
Thanks
