Rate me links for brand new games?

Hi, I really should've sussed this by now, having released a few games already, but it gets me every time!...
I have the 'rate me' pop up to ask players to go to the store and rate my game, but what do I do on the first release, when I don't have the link for the game yet? The game isn't in the app store, because it's not out yet, so where can I send players on release 1.0?
When I do an update, the game will be up, so I can put the proper link in then, but what about the very first release? What shall I put in the open URL slot? Is there a way to get a link for a new game before it's accepted?
Thanks
Wayne

    You can add this as soon as you have the ID number for your app. Which only happens when the app is live. So you'll have to update the app after it's initial release. Unless Apple have changed things recently.

    Thanks Honey, so I'm not missing something then - there really is no way to link to a game that is not submitted yet. There's no way I can get something from iTunes connect, or my provisioning profile, or something?

    Once you create the app in iTunes Connect you will be assigned an app ID for it. That's what you will use in the rating link.

    Here's the GS demo for it:
