Google: this app is not available in your country

Posted on July 23, 2013July 23, 2013 By admin

Well, that was painful as hell.

Ever since we moved from the UK to Switzerland and opened a bank account with the BCV, I’ve been trying to download and install the app from the Google Play Store without success. It keeps complaining that the app is not available in my country (O.o). After much swearing at uncooperative phone systems, turns out that the culprit is the Google Wallet. My credit card, which I registered a loooong time ago, has a UK address, which is what Google bases itself on (in part). So, I had to update my credit card details, then flush out my browser cache, and voila, app downloaded. It really didn’t help that the default language for the Swiss play store is German, nor that the mobile phone reception on campus is shit so I couldn’t get the 2-step Google verification codes easily. It took me about an hour of faffing to get it done.

Quote of the day

In the second scroll of Wen the Eternally Surprised a story is written concerning one day when the apprentice Clodpool, in a rebellious mood, approached Wen and spake thusly: "Master, what is the difference between a humanistic, monastic system of belief in which wisdom is sought by means of an apparently nonsensical system of questions and answers, and a lot of mystic gibberish made up on the spur of the moment?" Wen considered this for some time, and at last said: "A fish!" And Clodpool went away, satisfied.
--(Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time)
