    I’m saying if you’re reporting your location as the EU, could you get updates through the App Store? Or would it know you’re a US customer and disallow it, even if you report that you’re in the EU? Or does it use GPS location?

      I would guess that it goes off of the lowest common denominator between IP address geo-location & billing address. If either of those say US, google/apple would probably be required not to distribute it.
