Get AppWorld link of my app programmatically

Question

Is there any chance to get the app link(link from AppWorld) directly from the code?

It will be very helpful for me since I have more distributions of the same app and don't want to hard-code those links anymore. The link is used to open AppWorld at the app's page in order to update it.

I know that the application descriptor is edited after the app is published, and maybe the appWorld link is included into descriptor.

The App Id is a part of the application metadata. It has the name "RIM_APP_WORLD_ID".

// If you are targeting 4.3+, use this:
String myAppName = "My Amazing App"; //Name of your app
CodeModuleGroup group = CodeModuleGroupManager.load( myAppName );
String appid = group.getProperty("RIM_APP_WORLD_ID");
