Fix for item unavailable in your country when sandbox testing for Google Play Store

While testing in-app purchases for MealPrepPro on Android, we came across a strange issue where whenever we went to make a purchase it would say:

“Test card, always approved” and beneath that: “Item unavailable in your country”.

We were using pre-registrations for our app and the closed testing track so we can beta test and test in-app purchases internally.

To fix the issue:

1. Open Google Play Console
2. Navigate to Testing ➜ Closed Testing
3. Tap Manage Track
4. Tap on Countries and Regions
5. Look for where it says “Sync countries / regions with production and pre-registration”
6. Tap on Unsync countries / regions

That solved the issue for us and we were able to successfully test purchases.
