Manage availability for your app

Before you submit your app for review, you’ll need to set its availability. You have the option to make your app available in any of the 175 countries or regions where the App Store is offered, and you can offer your app for pre-order in countries or regions where you app hasn't already been published.

A customer’s Apple ID country or region setting determines the App Store storefront where they can purchase apps. For example, an Apple ID set to Japan can only purchase apps from the Japan storefront.

Please note that your app may not be able to be downloaded from certain storefronts or used in certain regions due to legal or regulatory requirements. View your app's App Store statuses to learn more.

Set up availability for your app

From My Apps, select your app. The page opens with the App Store tab selected.
In the sidebar, click Pricing and Availability, then scroll to the App Availability section.
Click Set Up Availability.
Select whether your app will be available for purchase or download in All Countries or Regions, Specific Countries or Regions, or Publish as Pre-Order, then click Next.

If you selected All Countries or Regions, click Confirm to make the app available in all 175 countries or regions after it becomes Ready for Sale. Your app will also be made available in all future countries or regions.

If you selected Specific Countries or Regions, select the countries or regions where you want to make your app available. You can also select the box at the bottom of the list of countries or regions if you wish to make your app available in all future countries or regions. Click Next, then click Confirm to make the app available in your selected countries or regions after it becomes Ready for Sale.

Note: Once your app is released for download or purchase on the App Store in a country or region, it can no longer be made available for pre-order in that same location.

If you selected Publish as Pre-Order, make your app available for pre-order by selecting a release date and the countries or regions where you want to make your pre-order available. If new countries or regions are added to the App Store in the future, your app will be made available for download or purchase there. Learn more about offering your app for pre-order.
