问题
I'm building an IOS app, but figured out later that my app should act totally differently based on the region/country. Basically, I only want to support 3 countries, but every country has its own rules and data. It makes no sense in my case to add all the logic, media, etc., in a single app.
Is it possible to do something like you can do on Google's PlayStore, submit a different app for each country all under the same name?
I tried to search for this issue but couldn't find any helpful resource.
回答1:
yes, it is possible, of course. we have many same applications for different markets like one for the UK market, one for the US market, etc... and they have different contents only which are specified for the current country, the application's core, name, icon and purpose are the exact same for every country.
our practice, we are focusing on one market at same time only, so technically we publish the different applications one-by-one 4-5 days delay between them.

You can submit different apps for different countries, but I would advise against it. Apple also says you should avoid doing this.
What happens if someone installs your app, then moves to a different country? What happens to people that travel a lot? Will they be able to switch to the correct country/language? What happens when you expand your app to support 20+ languages? You should really consider having one app to support all regions.
If you have large amounts of data, you could let the user choose which dataset/language to download. This may complicate your implementation but offers the best experience for users.
We have a project here with 32 different languages. As separate apps. You may not need this many, but think of all the tedium of creating different Xcode targets, building, updating iTunes Connect information, managing bug reports for different versions, etc. It can cause a lot of overhead.
If you insist on making separate apps you can do so, there is nothing preventing this. You just need to create an app for each region you are targeting and submit it separately to the app store. You can use iTunes Connect to manage which markets each app is available in.

you can use if else in your app to behave differently for 3 different countries
