Problem linking to the apps store?

For some reason on the iphone, embedding a link like this

http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/unicorn-labs-llc/id366244839

opens up the native itunes app with "Request could not be completed" instead of the "apps store" like it does on a computer (and ipad it seems). Does anyone know how to make it open the apps store app so you can link to other apps? Thanks!

I think the issue might be you are trying to get to your apps at too high a level. If you place a link to one of your apps specifically, it seems to work...

system.openURL("http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unicorn-disco-lite/id396468430?mt=8")

I tested this and can get to your app in itunes from my corona app running on my ipod.

Perhaps itunes on the device doesn't behave like the full web version and won't open unless you are app specific in your url.

i can link directly to an app, but i'm trying to link to an artist that displays all the companies apps

I just found out the same problem. Linking to list all apps works in the simulator, but returns "Request could not be completed" on the device.

While I can link to other apps directly I wouldn't mind linking to list all the apps in a button "More Games" etc...

Simple work around is to create another scene and link to different apps, but it would be a treat to have a link to list all apps.
