We are currently distributing an app on the App Store under our existing developer account, which is registered to a company based in China. Due to an upcoming corporate restructuring, we are in the process of transferring our operations to a newly established company based in Japan.
In this context, we would like to consult with Apple regarding the following plan: • The current app (under the China-based developer account) will continue to operate, but we plan to restrict its availability to users located in China only (i.e., remove availability from all other regions). • Separately, we plan to register a new developer account under our Japan-based company. • Under the new Japan entity, we would like to publish essentially the same app, but limit its availability to markets outside of China.
We would like to confirm if this approach complies with Apple’s App Store guidelines and policies, and whether there are any particular procedures or restrictions we should be aware of in order to implement this plan correctly.
Thank you very much for your assistance. We look forward to your guidance.
