Hi,
I am living abroad of my home country. I am trying to change the App Store country, so that I can install apps available in the country I am staying at. However it does not let me do it, as I have added a gift card on my App Store account and I receive the notification that I first need to use the money left to then be able to change app store country. This does not make sense. Can you please help me sort it out?
thank you in advance,
Danae
