Downloading GTworld Nigeria App on IPhone 17 while in Europe

My Gtworld App for nigeria would not work on my new iphone in diaspora. I need help. This is not the first time I’m using a new phone in diaspora and downloading the app. This time it tells me App not allowed in your region and I’ve tried troubleshooting by changing my region, vpn, rebooting, software update, all not workin.

Not all apps are developed, released, or made available by their developers in every country or region. App availability may depend on several factors, including the developer’s business decisions, regional demand, availability of resources, local laws and regulations, licensing requirements, and country-specific restrictions.


If an app is unavailable in your country or region, it does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the App Store or your Apple device. The app developer may have chosen not to distribute the app in that particular market or may not be authorised to offer it there.


In such cases, the best course of action is to contact the app developer directly and ask whether the app is available in your country or whether there are plans to release it there in the future.


Apple provides the App Store platform, but the decision to develop, distribute, and support an app in specific countries or regions generally rests with the app developer, subject to Apple’s App Store policies and applicable laws. Therefore, Apple cannot independently make an app available in a region where its developer has not chosen or is not permitted to distribute it.

I am now able to resolve the issue. The problem came from me trying to install the App from Apple Store when my iCloud had it backed up. So according to the explanation of the developer, I had to recover or delete the one on my icloud otherwise it would not pop up when prompted on AppStore. I would describe that as a very weird set up on the part of the bank’s DevOps team, yet, I’m happy I have the app on my new phone now. Thanks for the help

Many thanks for the response. I’ll contact the bank then, cuz they developed the App.
