Hi,

My application contains some extensions and one of them is the Call Directory extension. Because of uncompleted works, I don't want that extension to be available in a specified country, e.g. Vietnam.

Can I exclude/remove/disable that extension if users download my application from App Store Vietnam?

Thanks!

Not really.

One option here is to create two apps, one for Vietnam and one for the rest of the world, at which point you can publish the former to the Vietnamese App Store and the latter to all the others. However, that’s not a fun road to walk. The main problem is that there’s no way to ‘merge’ apps down the line so, if you do this, you’ll have to support these two variants forever.

Thank for your confirmation, Eskimo!

I can remove this workaround from my list now.
