requestReview()' was deprecated in iOS 14.0
I'm using StoreKit to ask review automatically in my app.
func requestReview() {
    guard shouldRequestReview else {return}
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
    lastRequest = Date()
How to get rid of that warning?
                @ Dc7 - In your code it looks like you are logging the dates when you last showed the request review, would you mind sharing your logic? I have an app in the AppStore and some users report that they keep getting the RateApp request and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. After 10 launches, I ask the user to rate the app but I only call the SKStoreReviewController.requestReview() method, no other logic and I don't log any dates. Would you mind sharing your logic before calling the SKStoreReviewController.requestReview() method?

iOS 16+
There is now a new RequestReviewAction that is available as an environment value:
private struct ContentView: View {
    @Environment(\.requestReview) private var requestReview
    var body: some View {
        Button("Review") {
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                requestReview()
iOS 14+
Quick solution
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
Note: according to some comments it's more reliable with DispatchQueue.main.async
Convenient solution
Here's a true one-liner:
SKStoreReviewController.requestReviewInCurrentScene()
but first you need to create the following extension in SKStoreReviewController:
extension SKStoreReviewController {
    public static func requestReviewInCurrentScene() {
        if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                requestReview(in: scene)
_{Here is a GitHub repository with different Swift extensions including requestReviewInCurrentScene().}
Explanation
The requestReview function was deprecated in iOS 14:
@available(iOS, introduced: 10.3, deprecated: 14.0)
open class func requestReview()
You need to use the requestReview(in:) function instead:
@available(iOS 14.0, *)
open class func requestReview(in windowScene: UIWindowScene)
Possible solutions
Custom extension
You can create the following extension:
extension UIApplication {
    var currentScene: UIWindowScene? {
        connectedScenes
            .first { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive } as? UIWindowScene
and use it like this:
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.currentScene {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
Universal one-liner:
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
single scene solution (for iOS)
if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
                This is NOT ideal solution on iPad IMO. When you have multiple WindowScenes opened, the review popup shows up in first connectedScene even the window is in background.

                @toshi0383 Yes, you're right. When I was answering this I thought about iOS only. Please see the updated answer for multiple scenes.

                What would the equivalent solution for macOS? The great thing about the old function was that it was OS-agnostic.

iOS (Swift 5+):
    if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
        if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
            SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
    } else if #available(iOS 10.3, *) {
        SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
macOS:
Don't forget to replace your Apple ID with in URL "id123456789"
guard let writeReviewURL = URL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/app/id123456789?action=write-review") else {
      print("Invalid URL")
      return
NSWorkspace.shared.open(writeReviewURL)
                What would the equivalent solution for macOS? The great thing about the old function was that it was OS-agnostic.

I made a small wrapper over SKStoreReviewController that saves the headache of supporting different versions of ios. Also it works for macOS.
// Review after 3 launches
AppReview.requestIf(launches: 3)
// Review after 5 days
AppReview.requestIf(days: 5)
// Review after 3 launches and 5 days
AppReview.requestIf(launches: 3, days: 5)

iOS 16 has a new way to do it: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/requestreviewaction
In my tests it is crucial to do it on the main queue. Otherwise the dialogue is unreliable.
private struct ContentView: View {
    @Environment(\.requestReview) private var requestReview
    var body: some View {
        Button("Ask for Review") {
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                requestReview()
As SKStoreReviewController.requestReview is deprecated in ios14
You can use SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene) from ios14

Sample code is below
if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
    if let scene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.activationState == .foregroundActive }) as? UIWindowScene {
        SKStoreReviewController.requestReview(in: scene)
} else if #available(iOS 10.3, *) {
    SKStoreReviewController.requestReview()
