Good afternoon zafar259,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you would like to know how to gift apps to friends or family overseas. The best way to do this is to send an email gift certificate so the recipients can purchase the software in the App Store for their country. The resource below explains how:


Send a gift from the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, and more


"Gift Apple ID credit from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Open the App Store app.
  2. Tap your photo or the sign in button  at the top of the screen. If you're not signed in, sign in with your Apple ID.
  3. Tap "Send Gift Card by Email."
  4. Enter your recipient's email address. If you want, add a message.
  5. Tap the amount that you want to gift, or tap other to enter a different amount.
  6. By default, the gift is sent immediately after you buy it. If you want to schedule the gift to send later, tap Today, then set the date that you want the gift to send.
  7. Tap Next.
  8. Select a theme for your gift, then tap Next.
  9. Tap Buy, then tap Buy Now to confirm."





Happy Holidays!
