Swift 3 - Open App Store Review Tab Directly (NOT the iTunes Store Review Tab)

Question

I've searched for a way to open the App Store review tab either inside my own app or in the App Store app, to no avail. Any help on how to do this?

Notes: This is specifically for SWIFT 3, not Objective-C. I have seen old answers to open the app review tab in the iTunes store with the "purple software" url but I really dislike that it's not opening the App Store. I've used apps that open the App Store review tab directly but haven't found the code to do it.

Thanks!

You need to use the itms-apps:// URL scheme (instead of itms://) in order to go to the App Store instead of opening in the iTunes app.

if let reviewURL = URL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-store/YOUR_APP_ID?mt=8"), UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(reviewURL) {
     if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
       UIApplication.shared.open(reviewURL, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
     } else {
       UIApplication.shared.openURL(reviewURL)
     }     
}
