Requesting App Store reviews

At a glance

Item Summary
Purpose Implement best practices for prompting users to review your app in the App Store.
App architecture A Swift sample with the source-visible chain StoreKitReviewRequestAppContentViewStoreKit APIs.
Main patterns Binding-based state propagation
Project style 7 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries.

Structure observations

  • Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
  • Primary languages: Swift.
  • The verified tree contains 4 project/configuration file(s) and 6 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

StoreKitReviewRequest/StoreKitReviewRequestApp.swift:10 — architecture anchor

@main
struct StoreKitReviewRequestApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

Interpretation

The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into StoreKit.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

StoreKitReviewRequest/ContentView.swift:11 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

    @State var path: [StepItem] = []
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
ContentView Array (path) owns wrapper-managed state App/module collaborators
StepView StepItem (item) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
StepView Array (path) borrows mutable state The upstream binding owner is authoritative

Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Class and protocol design

StoreKitReviewRequest/StoreKitReviewRequestApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary

struct StoreKitReviewRequestApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
StoreKitReviewRequestApp Application entry and top-level composition App
ContentView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
StepView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
WriteReviewLink Represents a feature value or composable behavior View
ResetButton Represents a feature value or composable behavior View
StepItem Represents feature data Int, Hashable

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.

Access control

Symbol Access Verified effect Likely rationale
resetSample (StoreKitReviewRequest/ResetButton.swift:22) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface.
requestReview (StoreKitReviewRequest/StepView.swift:21) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation.
presentReview (StoreKitReviewRequest/StepView.swift:70) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface.
openURL (StoreKitReviewRequest/WriteReviewLink.swift:11) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation.

Reference code

StoreKitReviewRequest/ResetButton.swift:22 — representative boundary

    private func resetSample() {
        processCompletedCount = 0
        lastVersionPromptedForReview = ""
        
        print("All checks have been reset")
    }

Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.

Logic ownership and placement

Logic Owning type or file Placement rationale
Application entry and top-level composition StoreKitReviewRequestApp The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding ContentView, StepView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
Binding-based state propagation StoreKitReviewRequest/StepView.swift:13 A binding exposes controlled read/write access while the upstream owner remains authoritative.

Naming conventions

  • Types: App: StoreKitReviewRequestApp; View: ContentView, StepView.
  • Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
  • Methods: navigateNextPage, presentReview, requestReviewManually, resetSample, next.
  • Files: StoreKitReviewRequest/StoreKitReviewRequestApp.swift, StoreKitReviewRequest/ContentView.swift, StoreKitReviewRequest/StepView.swift, StoreKitReviewRequest/WriteReviewLink.swift, StoreKitReviewRequest/ResetButton.swift, StoreKitReviewRequest/StepItem.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • StoreKitReviewRequestApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches SwiftUI, StoreKit through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
  • Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
  • Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
  • The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
