Geo-blocking

Some apps are specific to region. For example, air.ITVMobilePlayer is specifc to GB. If you try it from US, details will work, but delivery will fail:

> googleplay -a air.ITVMobilePlayer
Title: ITV Hub: Your TV Player - Watch Live & On Demand
UploadDate: Dec 9, 2021
VersionString: 9.19.0
VersionCode: 901900000

> googleplay -a air.ITVMobilePlayer -v 901900000
panic: Geo-blocking

It seems headers are ignored as well:

Accept-Language: es
Accept-Language: es-AR
Accept-Language: es-ES

You can change the country [1], and then you get expected result:

> googleplay -a air.ITVMobilePlayer
