Do not use this with a button

According to the Apple Developer guidelines

Because this method may or may not present an alert, it’s not appropriate to call it in response to a button tap or other user action.

I would suggest including this in the README just so it’s explicit.

This had me tapping my head for some time trying to figure out why it was failing to show in my app, even though it worked in development. Well, folks, if anyone else is having this issue, that’s why. However, do not despair, there is a workaround:

import {
  Linking,
  Platform,
} from 'react-native';


const APP_STORE_LINK = `itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/${IOS_APP_ID}?action=write-review`;
const PLAY_STORE_LINK = `market://details?id=${ANDROID_APP_ID}`;

const STORE_LINK = Platform.select({
  ios: APP_STORE_LINK,
  android: PLAY_STORE_LINK,
});

export default {
  requestReview: () => Linking.openURL(STORE_LINK),
};

@jnrepo no, this flag is only wheter the API itself is available.

Updated readme further and added example for button usage.
