'requestReview()' was deprecated in iOS 14.0

In iOS 14, Xcode is showing a warning:

> requestReview()' was deprecated in iOS 14.0

I'm using StoreKit to ask review automatically in my app.

func requestReview() {
guard shouldRequestReview else {return}
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
lastRequest = Date()
}

How to get rid of that warning?

[1]:

## iOS 16+

There is now a new [RequestReviewAction](

) that is available as an environment value:

```swift
private struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.requestReview) private var requestReview

var body: some View {
Button("Review") {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
requestReview()
}
}
}
}
```

## iOS 14+

### Quick solution

```
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
}
```

*Note: according to some comments it's more reliable with `DispatchQueue.main.async`*

### Convenient solution

Here's a true *one-liner*:
```
SKStoreReviewController.requestReviewInCurrentScene()
```

but first you need to create the following extension in `SKStoreReviewController`:
```
extension SKStoreReviewController {
public static func requestReviewInCurrentScene() {
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
requestReview(in: scene)
}
}
}
}
```

### Explanation

The `requestReview` function was deprecated in iOS 14:
```
@available(iOS, introduced: 10.3, deprecated: 14.0)
open class func requestReview()
```

You need to use the `requestReview(in:)` function instead:
```
@available(iOS 14.0, *)
open class func requestReview(in windowScene: UIWindowScene)
```

**Possible solutions**

- Custom extension

You can create the following extension:
```
extension UIApplication {
var currentScene: UIWindowScene? {
connectedScenes
.first { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive } as? UIWindowScene
}
}
```
and use it like this:
```
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.currentScene {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
```

- Universal *one-liner*:
```
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
```

- *single scene* solution (for iOS)
```
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
```

I made a small wrapper over SKStoreReviewController that saves the headache of supporting different versions of ios. Also it works for macOS.

// Review after 3 launches
AppReview.requestIf(launches: 3)

// Review after 5 days
AppReview.requestIf(days: 5)

// Review after 3 launches and 5 days
AppReview.requestIf(launches: 3, days: 5)

iOS 16 has a new way to do it:

In my tests it is crucial to do it on the main queue. Otherwise the dialogue is unreliable.

private struct ContentView: View {

@Environment(\.requestReview) private var requestReview

var body: some View {
Button("Ask for Review") {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
requestReview()
}
}
}
}

**Simple solution for iOS(13 & above) and macOS**

**iOS (Swift 5+):**

if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
} else if #available(iOS 10.3, *) {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
}



**macOS:**
Don't forget to replace your Apple ID with in URL "id123456789"

guard let writeReviewURL = URL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/app/id123456789?action=write-review") else {
print("Invalid URL")
return
}
NSWorkspace.shared.open(writeReviewURL)

As `SKStoreReviewController.requestReview` is deprecated in ios14
You can use `SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)` from ios14
Sample code is below

if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
}
} else if #available(iOS 10.3, *) {
SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
}
