Hi! Can’t download the app after creating a new Apple ID with New Zealand as location. Seems it blocks me from proceeding upon entering my credit card number. :(

Don’t put your credit card number since it identifies from the Philppines so just select NONE and you’re good to go!

Guys, just leave the billing method to none. It doesnt matter if you dont have a credit card. Just try to fill up the bio with (fake) information :)
