Hello,

I am planning to distribute my iOS app as an Unlisted App.

I would like to confirm the following:

If users access the standard App Store URL in the format below:

https://apps.apple.com/app/idXXXXXXXXXX

Will users be able to reach the Unlisted app’s App Store product page via this URL?

Or is the specific Unlisted distribution link generated by App Store Connect required for access?

My goal is to ensure that in-app update guidance directs users to the correct App Store page.

Thank you for your support.

The URL that you see on App Store Connect is the one we recommend sharing with your users, it may be a little bit different to the URL you're sharing in your comment as it may include the title of the app.

Both URL formats should work when shared, and the Apple ID should be the same as the Apple ID you find in App Store Connect as mentioned.

Yes, users will be able to reach your Unlisted app's App Store product page using the provided URL.

The unlisted app URL can be found in App Store Connect -> Pricing and Availability -> App distribution Methods
