I got an error

[hieuttmatech]

What happened?

I got an error when trying to download ipa from App Store:

ERR error="country code is invalid: country code mapping for store front () was not found" success=false
Please support me

Version

2.1.4

Relevant log output

No response

@hieuttmatech I think there was a problem with the apple http response with the X-Set-Apple-Store-Front header. It gave me the same error, but now it returns the correct answer.

Hi, have just had the same error. @ptzool could you explain how you resolved this?

version 2.1.4

ipatool search app_name
ERR error="country code is invalid: country code mapping for store front () was not found" success=false

@hieuttmatech I think there was a problem with the apple http response with the X-Set-Apple-Store-Front header. It gave me the same error, but now it returns the correct answer.

so, can you give me a solution ?

[ptzool]

Actually, I started by checking the code and verifying the request that ipatool makes to the apple servers.

I changed the logic of the countryCodeFromStoreFront function, and with that change I built a custom ipatool. (I don't think that was the solution.)

I logged in again with ipatool.

That's all I did.

➜  ipatool git:(main) ✗ ./ipatool --version
ipatool version dev

Same problem here, re-login still give the same error.

hey, share the code change as a patch please.

[HerbeMalveillante]

Any news on this issue ? I'm encountering the same bug, version 2.1.4.

I'm in France btw, if that matters

[x1mdev]

same issue here

[ptzool]

I have a workaround what I think solve the problem temporary.

Edit the Search function of following file pkg/appstore/appstore_search.go

func (t *appstore) Search(input SearchInput) (SearchOutput, error) {
	/*
		countryCode, err := countryCodeFromStoreFront(input.Account.StoreFront)
		if err != nil {
			return SearchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("country code is invalid: %w", err)
		}
	*/

	countryCode := "HU"

	request := t.searchRequest(input.Term, countryCode, input.Limit)

	res, err := t.searchClient.Send(request)
	if err != nil {
		return SearchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("request failed: %w", err)
	}

	if res.StatusCode != gohttp.StatusOK {
		return SearchOutput{}, NewErrorWithMetadata(errors.New("request failed"), res)
	}

	return SearchOutput{
		Count:   res.Data.Count,
		Results: res.Data.Results,
	}, nil
}

I added countryCode := "HU" with static value, and commented out the code above. (The value is the country code.)

countryCode, err := countryCodeFromStoreFront(input.Account.StoreFront)
if err != nil {
	return SearchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("country code is invalid: %w", err)
}

Create a build, and check it please and give me feedback. THX

go build .
./ipatool search whatever

[dosentmatter]

It was failing for me with the same country code error so I built ipatool myself. Using the local build, I did ./ipatool auth revoke and then logged in again with ./ipatool auth login and it worked. It seems like if it's working, you should see email and name populated in ipatool auth info output. If it's empty, then it doesn't work.

Since the credentials are stored in keychain, ipatool from homebrew also sees the credentials from ipatool auth login and is able to search. However, it still fails with :37PM ERR error="received error: Sign In to the iTunes Store" success=false when trying to download. The ./ipatool I built is able to download though.

Not sure if above actually did anything or if it was just from retrying login. I retried login with homebrew ipatool multiple times but it didn't help. I didn't make any code changes.

I’m encountering the same issue in version 2.1.4.

When I run ipatool auth info, it returns empty strings: INF email= name=" " success=true.

[mategorka]

This is just an observation as I needed a quick solution to the issue, but I got around this by manually modifying the password field in the keychain manager on macos by adding {"name":"added_name_here", ... ,"storefront":"insert_storefront_here_"} fixed it.
