PvZ2 Question
recently ive been trying to get back into pvz2 but the whole process has been a nightmare. I normal app on android is straight up broken, I try to make a purchase and it either fails for some reason or puts me in an infinite loop of restoring purchase that never does anything. Uninstalling doesnt work, turning wi-fi and mobile data off doesnt work. I tried using an apk but i cant access the premium money only plants which is what i was wanting it for in the first place. I tried using a file manager to change the pp.dat file but android is refusing to let me do that no matter how many different settings I change. And now I've tried bluestacks but the game cant normally be downloaded there so I had to download an apk for it but that isnt working and even downloading a obb and putting it in the folder isnt working. If anyone knows how to fix any of these problems or where to go to get them fixed I'd be massively thankful because no matter where I go online none of the solutions i see seem to be working for me.

I'll try to address some of your issues:

There are regional restrictions which might be tripping you up. Certain countries (e.g. Vietnam) have passed laws restricting in-app purchases. Others are under embargo and Google Play doesn't allow purchases from them. If you think there shouldn't be problems making purchases from your country then there could be a corruption in your game profile which is getting in the way. Working through EA support (help.ea.com) may get you by this issue.

Unfortunately this is a bug in the current version of the game (which impacts me too). There's not much you can do about it to help you get into the store (although there's a work-around for getting into the world levels to actually play the game). Popcap is aware of this bug and is working on it. Hopefully it's fixed for the next release (11.4.x) which should be out in the next few weeks.

We don't allow discussions on editing the pp.dat file. That falls under Rule 3 of the sub - "No Posting Cheats or Hacks"
tried bluestacks but the game cant normally be downloaded there
I've had no problem downloading the game on Bluestacks. It's no different than using the Google Play store on any android device, you just need a google account. The only issue with using Bluestacks is that it defaults to a 32-bit instance of Android. This won't work for PvZ2. When you create your Android instance, you have to create a 64-bit instance to get PvZ2 to run. All that said, you'll probably experience the same bugs on Bluestacks that you did on your Android device.
Thanks, rackman! Can confirm (and echo) the team is aware of this issue and working to get out a fix as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience at this time!
