Overview
The store_redirect package is a Flutter plugin that enables seamless redirection to an app's page on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. It simplifies user engagement by allowing developers to direct users to rate or update their apps directly from within the app. The plugin supports both Android and iOS platforms, ensuring consistent behavior across devices.
