I'm confused which app store url to send users to. I'm using a react native expo library (storereview) it seems to say use this format:

const itunesItemId = 982107779;
// Open the iOS App Store in the browser -> redirects to App Store on iOS
Linking.openURL(`${itunesItemId}?action=write-review`);
// Open the iOS App Store directly
Linking.openURL(`itms-apps://itunes.apple/app/viewContentsUserReviews/id${itunesItemId}?action=write-review`);

On Play Store, it's simple: .fairytrail.release

On App Store, I think the default most people seem to use is . If I use that one, will the expo review library work?

Or should I use or

It's quite confusing what is the official url that's not modified by country. And what the library and Apple needs in order to register the reviews. I'm having troubled testing because I already left a review and reviews don't seem to always be accepted by Apple.

Thanks for the advice

On Play Store, it's simple: https://play.google/store/apps/details?id=app.fairytrail.release

On App Store, I think the default most people seem to use is https://apps.apple/us/app/fairytrail-solo-travel-friends/id1442011999. If I use that one, will the expo review library work?

Or should I use https://apps.apple/app/id1442011999 or https://apps.apple/app/apple-store/id1442011999

Please follow the Apple's tutorial on requesting App Store reviews.

Also, be aware that reviews on the App Store are version specific, as mentioned on this thread.
