January 29, 2015 at 10:07Apple has limited access to the App Store to users from the Crimea
As a resident of Crimea Anton Luchnikov said on Twitter today , Apple began to block not only developer accounts, but also the accounts of all users. Today it has become impossible to download and / or update even free applications:
As the same Crimean user found out, there are several ways to bypass the App Store lock at the moment. One of them is to go to the store with an American account or you can simply re-link the Russian Apple ID to a different location outside the Crimea.
Apple representatives have not officially reported the disconnection of Crimea users from the App Store.
