Use the shared account

Please follow the walkthrough strictly. This route is for temporary downloads only — sign the shared profile out as soon as you are done.

Warning, in short avoid bricking your phone. Never sign in to the shared ID on the iCloud screen or in Settings, or your App Store and iTunes Store may be disabled or locked.

Sign in with the shared Hong Kong Apple ID provided on the screen, following the steps above. Mind the capitalisation — copy and paste it.

Common iOS questions

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

Because App Store distribution is regional and the app is not offered in the mainland-China storefront. There are three routes, in short (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 profile to download temporarily. Full steps for all three are on the iOS download walkthrough screen.

What if I see “App unavailable” during download?

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 and download 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 and is conflicting with the store version. Delete the installed copy (Settings → General → iPhone Storage → delete), then reinstall the latest build 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 and later tried to update with another. Sign in with the original profile to update, or delete the old copy and set up the latest build fresh.

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

Another user probably bound the shared Apple ID to a phone number and enabled two-factor verification. Clear your browser cache, reload this screen to get a fresh shared profile; follow the walkthrough 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 walkthrough. The critical rule, in short never sign in to the shared Apple ID on the iCloud screen 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 profile and enter your own lock-screen credential to clear Lost Mode. Never trust any non-official personal profile.

If anything goes wrong during the download, contact live support — a specialist will walk you through it.
