Getting the URL of an app that is not released yet

I want to create a "Rate Now" button but don't know how to get the URL of the app because it isn't released yet. Is there a standard url that I can use that will be dependably bring the user to the app store upon clicking it?

I am in this situation too! You can either not inlude it and issue an update or you can bring a search for your DevName or link to your website that'll redirect to your page when its up.

You can use this link:

Code:

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=xxxxxxxxx&mt=8

Replace the 9 x's with your app id. Your app id can be found in iTunes Connect after you set up your application even if you haven't uploaded your binary yet.
