I am facing the same problem right now. I am abroad but cannot install foreign apps. Have you (or them) found any solution to this in the meantime?

I mean, creating a new Google/Apple ID is one thing, but it's also quite annoying to log out of your primary ID.

So I'm wondering, did anybody try if this works with multiple users on Android? On iOS apparently you can log into separate accounts for iCloud and the App store, but never tried that either.

Yes, I have two accounts, one for italian and one for canadian apps. I have an italian sim card that i can monitor only with the carrier's italian app, so i need this configuration.

I just create new account. Thankfully, I never purchase any paid apps.

I imagine the Aurora Store[1] (a privacy focused proxy to Google Play) would be a viable solution.
