Foreign apps doesn’t work at 17.2

I have the latest operating system update (17.2) just a day ago my iPad had 5 foreign apps downloaded from Safari and iTunes. However, already this morning, none of them worked, only giving an error: Unable to Verify App

An internet connection is required to verify trust of the developer "iPhone Distribution «____» This app will not be available until verified

At first, I tried to simply restart these applications, and again "start trusting" in the general settings section "VPN & Device Management", but unfortunately it did not work, I also restarted the iPad itself, this did not help either. I downloaded a usual game with name “My times at Portia” , some days ago I heard about this game and wanted buy it , but when I searched this game in safari and opened link to App Store

This game was deleted or don’t supports in my region . And I was forced to download it through foreign sites. Please help me and other iOS users with my problem

iPad, iPadOS 17

I assume that these were not downloaded from the iPad App Store? Then what you are doing is not officially supported.

My times at Portia

The Steam version is for Windows computers, not for iPad. Apps need to be programmed differently to run on other devices, i.e. a separate edition for each device group.

The iOS/iPadOS version is available from the on-device App Store (at a cost: USD 7.99 or similar for other countries).

Users can only buy apps in the App Store for the country to which their Apple ID is set to. App availability may differ by country, at the discretion of the app developer. You can’t change country at will for this. Changing countries has big consequences, and is only intended for users that emigrate to another country for the long term.
