Apple has not approved our documentation for 23 countries in Europe yet. They require it for the European Union Digital Services Act [see https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-co...]. Note that the Android app is available in these (both in the Google Play Store as well as Obtainium).
France, specifically, is excluded due to needing a specific French encryption declaration form. [https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-ap...] - as we do not have a lawyer to consult, we decided it would be best to hold off on this to be certain we do it right.
For some other specific countries outside of Europe, such as North Korea, we are required to abide by export laws in the US. We tend to try to go on the safe side when excluding, as we do not have a lawyer to consult.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
