Apple recently announced on the iTunes Connect website that appĀ developersĀ can distribute promo codes to iTunes users outside of the U.S. Previously, promo codes only worked for iTunes users in the U.S.
This news is a great thing for app users around the world. You now have theĀ opportunityĀ toĀ receiveĀ codes for apps thatĀ developersĀ wish to share for free…
After two years of promo codes beingĀ restrictedĀ to the United States, Apple explained the new, worldwide use of promo codes in their official statement on iTunes Connect,
“Your promo code distribution is no longer limited to U.S. customers. Promo codes in iTunes Connect can now be redeemed by all App Store customers worldwide. Your Team Agent can request 50 codes per version of your app in iTunes Connect and your customers can redeem these codes in any App Store. To learn more about requesting promo codes in iTunes Connect, see the iTunes Connect Developer Guide”
I’m sureĀ developersĀ will jump all over thisĀ opportunity to gift apps to international users.
If you didn’t know, you can enter promo codesĀ straightĀ into the App Store app on your iPhone. Simply scroll to the bottom of the “Featured” page in the App Store app. You will see a “Redeem” button right above your iTunes account’s email address.
