Setup

Configuring Rate My App

Prerequisites

• Essential Kit imported into the project from My Assets section of Package Manager

• App Store ID configured for iOS builds (numeric ID from App Store Connect)

• Package name configured for Android builds (com.company.appname format)

Setup Checklist

1. Open Essential Kit Settings (Window > Voxel Busters > Essential Kit > Open Settings), switch to the Services tab, and enable Rate My App

2. Configure app store IDs in the General tab under Application Settings

3. Set timing constraints for when rating prompts should appear

4. Optionally configure confirmation dialog to protect against quota waste

5. Changes to the settings asset are saved automatically. If you use source control, commit the updated Resources/EssentialKitSettings.asset file

Configuration Reference

Confirmation Dialog Settings

Confirmation dialogs ask users if they want to rate before showing the native review dialog. This protects your platform quota.

Cancel Button Label	All	Optional	Text for negative action (default: "No Thanks")
Remind Later Button Label	All	Optional	Text for postpone option (default: "Remind Me Later")

Default Controller Settings

Controls when the rating prompt appears based on app usage patterns.

Setting	Platform	Description
Initial Prompt Constraints	All	Conditions that must be met before first rating prompt
Initial Prompt Constraints > Min Hours	All	Minimum hours before the first prompt can appear
Initial Prompt Constraints > Min Launches	All	Minimum app launches before the first prompt can appear
Repeat Prompt Constraints	All	Conditions for showing prompts again after user declines

Best Practice: Use confirmation dialogs to protect your limited native review quota. iOS allows only 3 native prompts per year, so confirming user intent first prevents wasted quota on accidental or poorly-timed prompts.
