PlayMaker

Access system utilities like app store navigation and settings using Essential Kit's Utilities feature via PlayMaker custom actions.

Actions (6)

• UtilitiesOpenAppStorePageDefault (sync): Opens the app store page using the configured app ID from Essential Kit settings.

• UtilitiesOpenAppStorePageById (sync): Opens the app store page using platform-specific IDs passed as parameters.

• UtilitiesOpenApplicationSettings (sync): Opens the native application settings page (iOS: Settings app, Android: system settings).

• UtilitiesRequestInfoForAgeCompliance (async): Requests age compliance info using optional age gate ranges.

• UtilitiesGetInfoForAgeComplianceSuccessResult (sync): Reads the last age compliance info result cached by the request action.

• UtilitiesGetInfoForAgeComplianceError (sync): Reads the last age compliance error cached by the request action.

Quick flow

1. UtilitiesOpenAppStorePageDefault → Opens app store for ratings/reviews

   • OR UtilitiesOpenAppStorePageById with explicit platform-specific app IDs

2. UtilitiesOpenApplicationSettings → Directs users to grant permissions

Notes

• App store and settings actions are fire-and-forget (no success/failure callbacks).

• Age compliance is async; use UtilitiesRequestInfoForAgeCompliance with success/failure events, then read cached outputs if needed.

Common uses

• App Store Reviews: Use UtilitiesOpenAppStorePageDefault to prompt users for ratings

• Permission Flow: Use UtilitiesOpenApplicationSettings when permissions are denied

• Cross-App Promotion: Use UtilitiesOpenAppStorePageById to promote other apps

Platform notes

• iOS: App ID is the numeric App Store ID (e.g., "1234567890")

• Configure default app IDs in Essential Kit Settings for platform-specific values
