System Review Popup is not being displayed.

[shantiwebsolution]

System Review Pop up is not being displayed. I have wrote following code inside initState() function.

    WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) async{
      if (await _inAppReview.isAvailable()) {
        print("WidgetsBinding Available");
        _inAppReview.requestReview();
      }
    });

Following is my debug log

@shantiweb Can you confirm that you're following the testing instructions correctly? https://github.com/britannio/in_app_review#android-1

I have exactly the same issue.

            if (await inAppReview.isAvailable()) {
              await inAppReview.requestReview();
            } else {
              await inAppReview.openStoreListing(appStoreId: '1526425219');
            }

I managed to see the popup maybe once, but that's all. You can see exactly above code in action if you download my app https://well-spoken.app . I came up with some lame walkaround (you can see it when you download my app), but it's not the ideal solution.

@chris-rutkowski I certainly didn't make this clear enough when I first released this plugin but the system API's are not designed to be used in this way. On Android, after the first attempt at showing the pop-up, there's no guarantee that it will be shown again and this is an intentional limitation likely to prevent spam or misuse. https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review#quotas

Please follow the guidelines as stated here: https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review#when-to-request

Also, I'm loving the app UX!

As a side note, this quota is not enforced when running the app via internal app sharing or internal testing provided by the Google Play Store as stated here: https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review/test#test-play-store

Thanks for compliment. So our code is correct, but Google and Apple is throating it, that's understandable. Is there any callback possible to understand what happens on the screen? I tried to wrap code in try catch but to no avail.

@chris-rutkowski Unfortunately not, the Google and Apple API don't let us know if the pop up was shown hence making it unsuitable for a permanent button. You can use the following code for your 'Rate us in the Play Store' button: await inAppReview.openStoreListing(appStoreId: '1526425219');

For your app, you could use the following code after a certain number of words have been learnt?

if (await inAppReview.isAvailable()) {
  await inAppReview.requestReview()
}

@shantiweb I haven't received a response from you so I'm closing this issue.

Sorry, I was sick for last week. This works perfectly.

Only thing is we can not test in development. But can test in beta tests .
