I believe recent iOS SDKs have implemented a system-controlled UI to ask for reviews to prevent apps doing this. I assume it's enforced via app-store review.

Yes, and you only call the system-controlled function if you're sure you'd get a good review.

They should prohibit that function call completely and ask users randomly for reviews, maybe when they pause or close the app...
