This may happen if the app you are trying to add already exists under another account in the AppsFlyer platform.
In such a situation, contact your dedicated CSM (if you have one) or else contact hello@appsflyer.com.
Error: The app does not exist in the store
Make sure to enter the correct app name or app ID in the store URL.

- Change the country to the correct country, e.g. the UK
