Hot Fix: Open AppStore directly rather than through SKStoreProductViewController

[staskus]

Context: p1717015105844129-slack-C012H19SZQ8

"Switch to Jetpack app" doesn't work on full-screen pop-up overlays. It happens because full-screen overlays are presented on separate windows, and "Switch to Jetpack app" tries to show SKStoreProductViewController on a topmost view controller on the main window.

To fix presentation issues and avoid substantial navigation changes for a hotifx, I'm reverting to safe option of opening the App Store directly

To test:

1. Fresh install the WordPress app
2. Login to a new account
3. Observe the full screen popover appear
4. Tap "Switch to Jetpack app"
5. Confirm AppStore is opened
6. Install the app
7. Confirm "Switch to Jetpack app" open the app

Regression Notes

1. Potential unintended areas of impact

I'm reverting to a previous solution. Opening UIApplication will get around any internal presentation issues.

2. What I did to test those areas of impact (or what existing automated tests I relied on)

Manual testing

3. What automated tests I added (or what prevented me from doing so)

PR submission checklist:

• I have completed the Regression Notes.
• I have considered adding unit tests for my changes.
• I have considered adding accessibility improvements for my changes.
• I have considered if this change warrants user-facing release notes and have added them to RELEASE-NOTES.txt if necessary.

Testing checklist:

• WordPress.com sites and self-hosted Jetpack sites.
• Portrait and landscape orientations.
• Light and dark modes.
• Fonts: Larger, smaller and bold text.
• High contrast.
• VoiceOver.
• Languages with large words or with letters/accents not frequently used in English.
• Right-to-left languages. (Even if translation isn’t complete, formatting should still respect the right-to-left layout)
• iPhone and iPad.
• Multi-tasking: Split view and Slide over. (iPad)

Looks good! I tested it and it works well, it essentially reverts #21896 👍

Some observations

• the StoreKit import is no longer used
• I think release notes for the 24.9.1 are needed

[guarani]

I removed the StoreKit import and added release notes.

The failing PR checks are due to a known issue and are not required (see p1716841230344599/1716839034.013489-slack-C06CKSPHYA1).
