How to distribute an Input Method Engine
I have an IME for Indic languages that I currently distribute outside of the Mac App Store because it does not seem to be supported. IMEs needs to be installed under /Library/Input Methods/ which I believe is not allowed for App Store apps. I could distribute it as an embedded helper app within my larger distribution app that I then install on start up - but I believe even that is not allowed. Is there a sanctioned way to distribute IMEs via the Mac App Store? The iOS store has support which I was able to use effectively.

Developer profile: chicken and egg situation
I used to live in the US. I had a developer subscription. I moved to India. I need to renew my subscription but it errors out with "There may be certain requirements to view this content." I cannot renew using my Indian credit card without updating my Region/Country but I cannot update it without renewing.
