Turns out they are already geolocking. EU and US have different app stores. When I visited Poland I needed to install an app to install eSIM for my phone and couldn’t do it.

Had to change the country on my account and it dropped all my subscriptions. Then I had issue when I came back with apps not updating. So I had to fiddle with it again.

Extremely annoying.

I haven’t tried this yet but apparently easier way is to create a separate account, log into it to download required app then log back into your main account.

My pain hinges between EV charging apps and family sharing.

Interestingly, this exact problem would be solved if they really allowed side loading. This is not an issue at all on desktop platforms and it shouldn't be on mobile.
