Opens app store using configured app ID

Variables Needed

None required (uses Essential Kit Settings)

Implementation Steps

1. State: OpenAppStore

Note: The app will suspend and the App Store will open. Users can return via multitasking.

Configuration Required

In Essential Kit Settings, configure:

  • Wrong app opens: Check that platform-specific app IDs match your published app

  • Action fails in Editor: App Store links only work on device (iOS/Android)
