问题
I'm researching the following questions and not much has been able to get so far. Hopefully you could help me to understand.
- Assuming an app is published to the US app store; will a user with russian app store setting be able to download it?
- Assuming an app is published to the Russian appstore; will a user with US app store setting be able to download it?
- Is there such a thing as global availability, or should an app be submitted into an every store it is supposed to be available at?
- How is Russian localization different from submitting an app version to Russian app store?
- What are the best practices for submitting an app designed for non-English speaking audience (Russian in my case) ?
I'd willingly read a relevant manual on that, please point me if you know one.
回答1:
Question 1, 2 and 3 are the same;-) When you submit the app you can choose in which store it comes up in. You will only need to submit it once.
Russian Localization is things like specific languages that will come up if you download it in Russia with Russian settings. if your app does not accomodate that, then it will just be in english or whatever language you have for your app by default.

Well by default your application goes to all countries (read later in the post and I will post all the countries names). Buy if you don't localized your application (like in Russia they speak Russian, and if your application is only in English the app is useless for only Russian speaking users).
But what if I want my Application only running in America or etc:
Log into iTunesConnect and click "Manage Your Apps."
Select your app and click the "Rights and Pricing" button.
- You can select the stores you want from this page.
- (If you see a line at the bottom that says "Unless you select specific stores...", your app is already for sale in all stores.)
