As long as the app doesn't need advanced features like VPN configurations, any app from any region would be fine.

It’s just a shopping app. I’m sure it would work fine. Any advice on how I can find the actual app to add with sideloady?

A couple of years ago when I was trying to find official IPAs I used appcake. You probably want to grab an adblocker (preferably ublock origin) before visiting

Also, again, I recommend using SideStore (with on-demand activation in wireguard, which I've made a PR for) which will auto-refresh

Thanks! I just checked and the app I need is not there. I think I’ll just keep maintaining a second phone.

Do you have payment methods on your Apple ID? Even if you don’t, you can try to switch your region on the Apple ID website. When it asks for payment method, choose “none”.

So, can I do this then switch back to my current region? Maybe this is what I need to do to get all the apps that I need.

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, though you may have to switch back and forth to update

Omg! Why is it so annoying? Like I can’t even get one of my banking apps. I can’t believe that there is not a better solution as there are many people who live between countries.
