So, I was trying to download PicsArt and it says that I need a 10.0 IOS version. And that's happenning to almost every awesome app and games in the App Store. And that's the problem, I almost can't download anymore because of that. Now, let's go to the question, How do I download the latest compatible version of an app that I haven't purchased before? Please answer because I'm trying to download not just PicsArt but many more...

I am using flutter and I am not very good at Xcode. I upload to the app store my project. When I try update the application I got this problem. Xcode unexpectedly quits and open another window that showing lots of description as follows: Following is the description text:

If I open another project on Xcode there is no problem. Could you help me please.

How can I archive a my currently installed app version (particular version) of an iOS app (=export IPA file?) I am aware that apple removed the App Store from iTunes and that apps are not part of the backups any more. However I am looking for a solution with which I can draw my currently installed app version as IPA file before I upgrade. Since app authors can modify and remove functionality at will and Apple prevents people from going back to a previous version I would like to be safe, particularly when large changes happen. I have looked into iMazing but it only seems to be able to export the latest version from the AppStore to IPA (neither the currently installed version nor different version)

Macs with Apple Silicon chips (M1/M2/etc.) can install iOS apps from the App Store. When an iOS app is **uninstalled**, its metadata is not deleted, and is reused if the app is reinstalled. This makes it impossible to have a fresh install. I am testing apps with TestFlight and it's very annoying. Is there a way to clear application data for an iOS app installed on macOS?

I’m having a problem deleting Gcash. I’ll delete the app from the home screen and choose the option to delete all related app data. When I go back into the Apple Store and try to download Gcash again, I see that it is still stored in my iCloud. I have attempted to delete Gcash from the iCloud by going to: Settings > Account > iCloud > Drive > Manage Storage without success. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS 18.5 If anyone here could help me with specific instructions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Of course, by holding down on an icon and tap the x lets me uninstall an app. But take a look at this: Here, the Pandora app is somehow stuck at the "update phase". Tapping it to continue download doesn't work. The progress "circle" will get stuck. So I decided to reinstall it. > Translation: > **Delete “”** > Deleting “” will also delete all its data. For some reason it doesn't even show the name of the app. It's just blank. Tapping delete does nothing. So what do I have to do to fix this problem? Running iOS 8, not jail broken.

I deleted the YouTube app about 3 or 4 months ago and I decided to download it again. I went to the App Store and I looked for it and when I saw it the iCloud icon was not there, so I clicked on the app in the App Store. The iCloud icon is dull and when I click on it nothing happens!!! I tried uploading YouTube from Safari onto the home screen but still it just takes me to the website not the app. I have a YouTube account and everything and I still get emails from YouTube but I can't download the app!!

I want to access data stored in a 3rd party iOS app called FriendLoan. This app crashes every time I try to open it. Also, it's not available on the App Store. I just need to recover the data somehow. I know that the data is stored in the app.

Is there anyway, I can still use in 2024 a very old iPad Mini A1455 (1st edition?) and install any apps from App Store? I have erased everything and started as a new iPad. Everything went easy, PIN, Apple ID, password, T&Cs. Device is working as new (as it was working 12+ years ago), all apps are there. Problems started when I went to App Store: App Store → Tube Browser → Get → Install → Password → OK > This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store Review → Agree to Terms and Conditions → Next Bam! That's it. Nothing happens. The "Next" button becomes inactive. Then after approx. 3 seconds it becomes active again, but literally nothing happens. I can keep pressing "Next" until cold death of the Universe. No effect. As mentioned above, except for being 12+ years old, this iPad is no in state as it would be taken of from the box for the first time: - I have completed full factory restore about five minutes ago - No configuration ever changed (except for providing Wi-Fi password) - No service or app ever run (except for App Store) - No actual operation ever done (except for logging-in with my Apple ID twice) Is there anything I can do about this? Or the device must be trashed as not being usable at all?

We had an app previously distributed as an private app via the Apple Enterprise Developer Program. This allowed us to put a direct link on an internal page allowing users to directly download the app to their device (similar to a side load on Android). This was needed as some employee and contractor owned devices were not managed by an MDM. This year Apple has asked us to use alternate mechanisms. Of the new mechanisms, distributing the app through a Unlisted Direct link would have been the best option. (https://developer.apple.com/support/unlisted-app-distribution) . In our reading, the app would first be submitted as a public app and when approved, we would submit a request for a direct link. However, despite describing the intent in our app submission, the app review is stalled due to Guideline 3.2 below. However no guidance is provided for how to approach the mechanism described in https://developer.apple.com/support/unlisted-app-distribution . Q1: Anyone with any success with the Unlisted App Distribution mechanism? Did we miss a step? Should we have applied for an direct link ( https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/unlisted-app/ ) before submitting the App for review? As a fall back strategy, we have activated an Apple Business Manager (ABM) account and are exploring distributing the app through that, but this appears to require that we enter the Apple Organization ID of all possible users. Most of our agents will not have Apple Organization IDs which require a DUNS number etc to create. Q2: Is there a way to create a direct link for distribution from the Apple Business Manager mechanism that does not require the end user to have an Apple Business Manager account of their own? (Redemption codes are not an option. We do offer authentication in our app, so are not that concerned with the link ending up with someone who is not allowed to use the app. However, since this is an legacy app, we are not able to ask users to provide their apple ids and generate codes etc.) Any other suggestions for how to navigate this distribution issue?

I'm sick and tired of having the App Store launched every other time I try to turn a page in iBook. Is there a way to turn the **stupid** "feature" off? Don't see a setting in the App Store panel, nor in iBooks. This is a recently added feature. In any app, a tap or swipe left near the right edge (in other words, the same motion as turning a page) brings in an abbreviated app store panel. Can dismiss the panel by tapping somewhere else, but my reading is still interrupted, and the full app is still in the background.

I'm using a Rust library called Leptos to create a Web application. That compiles the front-end application from Rust into WebAssembly. Is it possible to incorporate this WebAssembly bundle into an app for release on the iOS App Store?

I have an enterprise application which will be distributed using Volume Purchase Plan. I've read the documentation and understand the method of generating and downloading the codes in a spreadsheet and sharing to users. I want to automate this process from a Java application. Does Apple provide any API to query for the redemption codes using a valid VPP-enabled Apple account. I was going through the forum and found generate promo codes for in app purchases thread but couldn't find the solution with the accepted answer. Also followed the suggested methods in these Apple documents App Store Connect API , App Store Connect , Private Distribution and business it but couldn't get clear information on implementing in Java application.

##### Rationale I want to locate FOSS applications which integrate with the undermentioned to replace Apple's defaults. I've located Firefox and Proton Mail by coincidence: However, I haven't been able to locate replacements for the Phone and Messages applications, [like others haven't](https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalProfile/comments/1hcaa0m/are_there_any_messaging_apps_that_support_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1#:~:text=Ok%2DWind%2D1675-,Are%20there%20any%20messaging%20apps%20that%20support%20the%20default%20messaging%20app%20feature%20on%20iOS?,-r/UniversalProfile%20%2D%20Are) . Consequently, (how) can I reproducibly discover them? ##### Research The undermentioned developer.apple.com/documentation describes how to implement this functionality within an application: 1.

This appears to be absent now (using #:~:text=mail on the URI). However, none of this explains how a user should discover an application which advertises this capability to the OS once installed.

I need to search an apps and look whether it supports game center. However, I only want play the games with Game Center. So, is there a list that includes all games which supports Game Center?

Yesterday my daughter got her iPhone 13. Coming from a Samsung, we used the *Move to iOS* app to get all her data and apps transfered. The app worked fine, and after some time the processes finished. I noticed a few things I do not understand: -Her photos and videos from her Samsung gallery were not transfered. There are only 4 photos in her camera roll now. -The apps on her Samsung that were found and recognised as iOS apps are just on her backscreen but not downloaded and installed automatically. I remember that when I used the Move to iOS app in 2022, the apps downloaded automatically. Now, she has to find each app in the appstore, selecting to download and then authorize *twice* with her sign-in code. (and after that I have to authorize the download as well despite I set otherwise in the Parental Control setting (limitations are off now, but I set *iTunes Store and App Store* to Install apps > allow, Delete apps > allow, In app purchases > allow. Demand password > Do not demand`.) In *App Store settings* I set Appdownloads > on. How can I set the parental control settings so she can download apps withouth my approval (though I would like to have choice between free and paid apps)? Is there a setting that I might have missed that made the photos and videos have not been transfered?

Assume I have a mobile app that provides users with weather forecasts. The app is completely free, with no ads displayed. Separately, I offer an API that provides access to the underlying weather data for €10/month. This API is independent of the app and does not alter its functionality in any way. To avoid using Apple’s In-App Purchase system, users create an account on my website, purchase access to the API there, and receive an API key. Now, I want to advertise the API in the app. Ideally, I’d include a button that opens my website for users to learn more. However, I’m unsure if this complies with Apple’s guidelines. Apple’s App Review Guidelines state the following under 3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App: > If your app enables people to purchase physical goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than in-app purchase, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry. While the API isn’t a physical good or service, it’s entirely consumed outside the app. Does this guideline apply to my case? I couldn’t find anything more specific in the guidelines. Has anyone encountered a similar situation or have insight into how Apple might interpret this? **EDIT** Imagine the app to show one use case for the data and acting as a marketing tool for the actual product (the API).

**Edit:** I did a factory reset and it worked. Very annoying bug... I haven‘t been able to update apps in months. Whenever I click on update, the App Store prompts me with: > “If you have an Apple ID, sign in with it here.“ > > Not only am I already logged into my account (yes, it is the same account that I used to download the app), there is literally no way I can log in with this prompt, since it asks for only a password and not an email + password. Whatever I type in, I get “Your Apple Id or Password is incorrect.“ Here‘s what I‘ve tried: - Updating iOS - Restarting iPhone several times - Logging in and out of different Apple Accounts Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do? Anything I’m missing? I haven‘t really cared much but now WhatsApp is forcing me to update and refuses to support my version so I literally cannot use it. I also don‘t want to delete and reinstall it because I would lose my chat and document histories.

According to **App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1(v)** : > An app may not store credentials or tokens to social networks **off of the device** and may only use such credentials or tokens to directly connect to the social network **from the app itself** while the app is in use. We want to allow the users to link their social accounts to quicker sign in/up to the app.
The user identity can only be validated on the server side given a valid access token, otherwise, anyone can send any random email or account ID and impersonate any other user. Most social networks limit the access token to the IP address where it was issued.
I wonder if there is concrete explanation if perhaps this is justification enough or if sending the token off decide for validation is a black or grey zone. In summary we obviously can't guarantee that we are not going to *use* the access tokens off of the device, because we *send* them to our backend. Is it gonna be a violation of the above guideline (or any other), if we send an access token from mobile to the backend just for verification purposes?

When I open the apple store on MacOS, or on my iPad, it is supposed to show the balance of my Apple account under my name; at least that's what the Apple support pages say. However in my case, nothing is shown. This is supposed to mean that my balance is zero. But when - on MacOS - I click on my name and then on "Account settings", the section "Apple Account" does show the correct balance. How come? **UPDATE** I found that it's even more bizarre. What I described above, applies to MacOS on my Macbook, and the correct balance shown in the Apple Account (but not on the AppStore page) is around 60€. When I use MacOS on my iMac (same Apple ID of course), the balance *is* shown on the AppStore page, but as around 90€.
