How can I get the region region currently used in the macOS App Store? Preferably via Swift libraries, but any command / function will suffice.
The following StoreKit property seems to always return the region for the Apple Account associated with my macOS user.
await Storefront.current?.countryCode
See the Apple docs.
My macOS Apple Account region is US; in the App Store, when I sign into a different Apple Account whose region is GB (UK), Storefront.current?.countryCode continues to return US, not GB (or UK).
I correctly see prices in pounds instead of in dollars, British spelling instead of American spelling, apps listed in my purchased tab for the UK (not the US) Apple Account, and, in the Account Settings dialog, the UK Apple Account email address, billing address & Country/Region set to United Kingdom.
I didn't get any relevant results from the following command lines:
defaults find GB defaults find UK defaults find uk-apple-id@example.com defaults find uk-apple-id
The following didn't change after I signed into the UK Apple Account in the App Store:
$ defaults read com.apple.AppStoreComponents { ASCLocaleID = "en-US@calendar=gregorian"; }
Maybe Storefront.current?.countryCode only specifies the country code for the Storefront that will be used for in-app purchases, instead of for purchasing new apps from the App Store; maybe the former is tied to the Apple Account for the macOS user, instead of to the Apple Account for the App Store. If that's the case, what other mechanism can I use to obtain the country code for the App Store storefront?
