DOWNLOAD OLD VERSIONS OF SAFARI FOR IPHONE DOWNLOAD
Searching for the exact same app and trying to download that way doesn’t work.īecause you cannot buy unsupported apps. Weird that you need to go to purchased to download. The caveat of the older device not being able to buy it is still true. Regarding 1 - you can buy it on another iOS device, and it will still pop up in purchased, allowing you to download it on the older device. This isn't Apple's fault- if the older apps don't work any more the developer should remove them from the store. Usually this is driven by changes to the back-end of the app, where the developer either deliberately broke backwards compatibility or didn't bother to think about it. The Starbucks, Walmart and Overcast apps are some of these.
Unfortunately, Apple removed THAT capability last year when they "improved" iTunes by taking the iOS app store out.Ģ) As Mike listed above, many times you will download an App that immediately says "ooh, you should upgrade", or it just doesn't work. It used to be that you could get around this by purchasing the app in the App Store on iTunes on a Mac- which put it in the "Purchased" list on the device, allowing Mike's instructions (above) to work. This is a bug in the App Store that has been around FOREVER, Apple *knows* about it (I put in one of the Radars myself when I was a developer), and it has never been fixed.
If you try to purchase an app from the store that is new to your iDevice, you will get the error "This app requires iOS x.x" and it won't let you buy it, EVEN IF THERE ARE OLDER VERSIONS OF THE APP AVAILABLE. There are a few caveats to this situation, however.ġ) This only works for apps you have already purchased.
