Getting App Store URL before Apple Review

Is it possible to generate an App Store URL, in the beta testing phase of the app, before Apple Reviews the app? I would like to have a link in my app, to my app in the App Store, which users can share with their friends. I would like to have this available in the beta testing phase. Can one only add this link after it has been accepted ? Does that imply that it is always added in a revision after the first ?

Find App ID= My Apps -> App Store -> App Information -> General Information -> Apple ID

Then your store url is below

https://apps.apple.com/app/id[AppId]

like this https://apps.apple.com/app/id1513329198

Yes its possible to create a App URL after registering the application on iTunes Connect.This doen't mean your application is live on Apple Store, you just submitted required data to iTunes connect, so unique id got generated & you can use that to create URL.

Once you register application on iTunes connect one unique ID for your application will be generated. And you can create your App URL like below format.

https://itunes.apple.com/[countrycode]/app/[YOUR APP NAME]/[YOUR UNIQUE APP ID]?mt=8

But in beta testing it will not work, You will get error message because the application is not available in App Store.

Once application become live it will work absolutely fine.

Note : Once you register the application on iTunes connect you need to upload at least first version within 90 days else others will be eligible to use that name.

Yes, you can get your app's App Store URL through iTunes Connect.

Navigate to My Apps > [the app whose link you want], then under More, you'll see "View on App Store". Right click that and copy the link.

Screenshot

This should give you something like this:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/[APP NAME]/[APP ID]?ls=1&mt=8

I've noticed that removing the /us (or whatever country code it defaults to for you) makes the URL universal, and iTunes is smart enough to detect the store.
