App review link not working anymore

Like many other developers I have a link in my app which takes the user to review my app in the app store (App store link for "rate/review this app"). In iOS7 GM and all of the betas, this link is broken (it currently takes you to a blank white screen in the app store).

I was hoping that it would be fixed by the time of the official release of iOS7 today, but that is not the case. Does anyone know if Apple will restore this link, or if they've mentioned anything about it?

Old style of review url (which contains something like WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/) will not work properly on iOS7. You have to use the new format of app store url instead, something like

itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/idAPP_ID

will work well.

You can see the issue discussion of some popular rating framework to get more information about it, maybe this or this

If your app is not on the appstore, then you will get null response when you try to open the URL of your app right now.

Once your app will be in "Ready For Sale" status, then you will be directed to the app review page of the app.
