I would like to make an exact copy of my app available for the low income regions. A web page would be made available where the user creates an account and gets a link to the free version of the app. The free version would require the user to sign in. The problem I had before, was the App Store detected there was another effectively identical app already in the. store and wouldn't let me upload a second version. I think it might be to do with reasonable concern around fraud detection and imitation of other peoples apps. So I would like to know if other people have had success doing this type of thing, have you worked out a way to get two basically identical copies of an app approved for the App Store. I just figure if I cant sell in the app in the smaller low income countries, I still may as well let them use it.

It seems like Brazil is not listed as one of the countries where Apple handles Tax for non Brazilian developers: https://developer.apple.com/support/downloads/terms/exhibits/Exhibits-to-Schedule-2-and-3-20230828-English-UK.pdf But this news link from the developer site seems contradictory, it says: "Apple now withholds taxes for all App Store sales in Brazil." https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=9eq8c3h2 It seems I am misunderstanding something. Does apple handle the VAT/GST/Sales tax for Brazil?
