How to detect the active iTunes store on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad?

Question

I\'d like to be able to determine which store the user connects to from inside my app, so that I can direct them to some appropriate content for their device AND store. Doe

So far you can use 2 methods with their pros and cons:

StoreFront

->SDK >= 13

->The three-letter code representing the country associated with the App Store storefront

if let storeFront = SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront{
    print("StoreFront CountryCode = ", storeFront.countryCode)
}
else {
    print("StoreFront NOT Available")
}

OR

SKCloudServiceController

-> Available from iOS 9.3.

-> Requires permission. On tvOS it can become messy as I can't find a way to change the permissions in settings...

-> Permission text quite confusing.

let skCloudServiceController = SKCloudServiceController()
SKCloudServiceController.requestAuthorization { (status) in
    guard status == .authorized else {
        return
    }

    skCloudServiceController.requestStorefrontCountryCode(completionHandler: { (countryCode, error)  in
        if let error = error {
            print("Failure: ", error)
        }
            else if let countryCode = countryCode {
            print("Country code: ", countryCode)
        }
    })
}

Don't forget to include that in your .plist file:

NSAppleMusicUsageDescription
