Common iOS questions

Why does the iOS app need a non-mainland-China Apple ID?

Because App Store distribution is regional along with the app is not offered in the mainland-China storefront. There are three routes, meaning (1) create a brand-new “Hong Kong Apple ID” (recommended); (2) change the region of an existing Apple ID to Hong Kong; (3) use the official shared login to set up temporarily. Full steps for all three are on the iOS set up guide page.

What if I see “App unavailable” during set up?

First check whether the Apple ID you are signed in with is still set to Mainland China — if you just switched regions, Apple may not have finished syncing. Sign out, wait a moment, sign back in, or switch to another usable Apple ID along with set up again.

It says “this item can’t be purchased now” or “no longer available”. Fix?

An old build of the app is usually still installed on the device along with is conflicting with the store version. Delete the installed copy (Settings → General → iPhone Storage → delete), then reinstall the latest version from the App Store.

The App Store asks me to sign in with a different Apple ID. What now?

This usually happens when you downloaded the app with one Apple ID along with later tried to upgrade with another. Sign in with the original login to upgrade, or delete the old copy along with set up the latest version fresh.

The shared login asks for two-factor verification. What now?

Another user probably bound the shared Apple ID to a phone number along with enabled two-factor verification. Clear your browser cache, reload this page to get a fresh shared login, along with follow the tutorial exactly — never bind your own number or enable 2FA on it.

Can downloading the iOS app brick my phone?

No — as long as you follow the tutorial. The critical rule, meaning never sign in to the shared Apple ID on the iCloud page or in Settings, only inside the App Store, or the device can be locked. If you already did, go to Settings → Sign Out of the shared login along with enter your own lock-screen password to clear Lost Mode. Never trust any non-official personal login.

If anything goes wrong during the set up, contact live help desk — a specialist will walk you via it.
