Resolvi entrar no site da Apple e comentar com o suporte sobre o lance de não poder mais criar contas na iTunes Store sem cartão de crédito.

Lógico que não falei que estamos precisando das contas para arrumar o bug dos apps crackeados (hahaha) mas citei um problema, de por exemplo, alguém que compra um iPod touch ou um iPhone e não tem como puxar apps gratuitos da App Store, deve comprar um gift card (ou seja, pagar) para ter uma conta e para aí sim poder ter apps free? Já que cartões de crédito brasileiros não são aceitos, eles deixaram sem opções os que não tem cartão internacional. Também mensionei esse tutorial (que é da própria Apple) alertando que não funciona mais.

Ele entendeu o problema, mas me sugeriu que enviasse um formulário de feedback à Apple. Foi o que eu fiz e é justamente o que acho que todo mundo deveria fazer, pra ver se faz algum efeito! Para enviar o formulário, acesse http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html e escreva lá a mensagem. Em Feedback Type escolha Enhancement Request e em Feedback Type escolha Managing Your Store Account.

Para ver o “bate-papo” :P , clique em leia mais.
Abraço!

info: Hi, my name is Frank L. How can I be of assistance?
Frank L: Hi Diego
Diego Trevisan Lara: Hi Frank. I noticed Apple changed something in iTunes Store that doesn’t allow us anymore to create iTunes accounts without a credit card, right?
Frank L: Your other payment option is to just use an iTunes Gift card. This will allow you to create an account with out a credit card
Diego Trevisan Lara: Yes but, you mean, if someone doesn’t have a Credit card, they have to pay to have free app store apps?
Diego Trevisan Lara: Not pay for the apps but for the account?
Frank L: It’s not that you need to pay for the account. But since iTunes is a Store it is necessary to provide some form of payment to set an account
Diego Trevisan Lara: I have a site that helps iPod touch users, I’m brazilian and many people here doesn’t have an international credit card, and national card is not accepted, that’s why I’m asking. Many people is complaining about this.
Frank L: I’m sorry to hear this. I can imagine it must be a little frustrating. I am going to send this information to our feedback department for review. But in the short term, a gift card sounds like your best option
Diego Trevisan Lara: Thank you! I think you could understand. We want to install Free Apps from App Store and I don’t know why would we need to have some type of payment method since they are free.
Diego Trevisan Lara: Hope you get to help us some way ;)
Frank L: well, there isn’t much I can do personally, but I can certainly fill out a feedback form expressing your concerns for you. I would also recommend doing the same for you and those on your forum. If yo don’t mind holding a moment I can get you the link where to do this.
Diego Trevisan Lara: Ok, I can wait. Just another thing, related to the same thing, you should update this tutorial since it’s not working anymore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Frank L: The one on how to create an app store account without a payment method, right?
Diego Trevisan Lara: Yes!
Frank L: I actually did just that yesterday. I am going to follow up today to make sure it is updated or removed, since I understand it is not working.
Diego Trevisan Lara: Ok ;)
Diego Trevisan Lara: I’ll be waiting for the form link.
Frank L: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Frank L: Thanks for understanding, I will exhaust my resources to get this corrected for you and others affected by this
Diego Trevisan Lara: Ok! Thank you very much!
Diego Trevisan Lara: Bye!
