'requestReview()' was deprecated in iOS 14.0

Solution 1:

Quick solution

if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}

Convenient solution

Here's a true one-liner:

SKStoreReviewController.requestReviewInCurrentScene()

but first you need to create the following extension in SKStoreReviewController:

extension SKStoreReviewController {
    public static func requestReviewInCurrentScene() {
        if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
            requestReview(in: scene)
        }
    }
}

Here is a GitHub repository with different Swift extensions including requestReviewInCurrentScene().


Explanation

The requestReview function was deprecated in iOS 14:

@available(iOS, introduced: 10.3, deprecated: 14.0)
open class func requestReview()

You need to use the requestReview(in:) function instead:

@available(iOS 14.0, *)
open class func requestReview(in windowScene: UIWindowScene)

Possible solutions

  • Custom extension

You can create the following extension:

extension UIApplication {
    var currentScene: UIWindowScene? {
        connectedScenes
            .first { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive } as? UIWindowScene
    }
}

and use it like this:

if let scene = UIApplication.shared.currentScene {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
  • Universal one-liner:
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
  • single scene solution (for iOS)
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}

Solution 2:

Simply solution for iOS 13 and above

Swift 5+

    if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
        if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
            SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
        }
    } else if #available(iOS 10.3, *) {
        SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
    }
