From which Android version should it work?

[martijnmichel]

Ive tried this code in my app but it doesnt work. Android version 8.0.0.

cordova.plugins.InAppReview.requestReviewDialog().catch(() => {
   return cordova.plugins.InAppReview.requestReview();
});

If i only run requestReview() it launches the store just fine.

iOS works as expected.

Android version should be good, from google website:

Android devices (phones and tablets) running Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher that have the Google Play Store installed.

@martijnmichel Every supported Android (5+) version should work because inapp dialog implemented in support libraries. Could depend on play libraries installed on device though. What is your result when calling requestReviewDialog()?

[martijnmichel]

On android i dont get any result 😐

[chemerisuk]

@martijnmichel any logs from logcat?

@martijnmichel something wrong with your app certificates:

2020-08-21 09:07:18.969 24713-24886/org.stroopwafel.music.app I/PlayCore: UID: [10074] PID: [24713] ReviewService : linkToDeath 2020-08-21 09:07:18.973 24142-24154/? I/Finsky: [399] ded.(19): org.stroopwafel.music.app is installed but certificate mismatch

[martijnmichel]

what does this mean ? how can i fix it?

[chemerisuk]

Try google, your problem is not related to the plugin.

[martijnmichel]

I dont think that was the problem tbh. New error:

@martijnmichel added a note into README about this case

After the account on the device has downloaded the app at least once from the internal test track and is part of the testers list, you can deploy new versions of the app via cordova cli and call requestReview in debug mode

Read https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review/test#test-play-store

[martijnmichel]

Could you implement using the FakeReviewManager from that page to make it easier to test functionality?

[chemerisuk]

@martijnmichel no plans to do that.

[martijnmichel]

Then I have no way of testing it 😕
