   Hello,
   I just put together this small but very helpful class for App Store links. In my opinion, Apple doesn't make it easy enough to link to pages on the App Store from your app. After digging around online and experimenting, I have some working methods that I wanted to share. Here are some examples of using the class. There are more details on the wiki page. Enjoy!

   // Show a list of all your apps
   [BELinkHelper showAllApps];
    
   // Show the reviews page for your app
   [BELinkHelper showAppReviews];
    
   // Show a specific app's listing, replace the ID
   [BELinkHelper showAppWithID:@"349733798"];

   Very nice, thanks!
   I knew you could display all your apps, but didn't know how.

   Nice, thanks for sharing. Only had a quick look but I could not get showAllApps to work. I think maybe because I have a blank space in there, not sure though.

   You are clever Brian, I feel stupid now... I was trying "-" and all other sorts of combinations.

   Thanks for this code enbr!

   BTW. you have small bug in code - you're passing parameter appID to method showAppWithID but you use APP_ID instead of appID.

    There is not a bug. It works How it should. showAppReviews uses APP_ID, but showAppWithID is for opening a different app.

    Are you sure?

    If I set APP_ID to @"123" and then call showAppWithID:appID (appID = @"456")
    result will be app @"123" because stringWithFormat: uses APP_ID, not appID.

    Do I miss something?
