Apple probably does the same thing. You pay 20 bucks for an app that gets taken down from the store: does the next phone get it still?

Technically won’t be able to download from the app store but using applications like imazing to download it and as long as you previously owned it, Apple will restore your purchases.

I’ve been using a manga reader that got taken off the store around 2017, still use it and transfer it to each new device (works for both phone and iPad). The ad-free in-app purchase restores just fine too.

Yeah - I have lots of apps that I paid for that have been delisted or aren’t compatible with my current model iPhone. I had a couple that were installed but got “offloaded” so I still have the icon but the app is gone forever :)

So, what actually happened with Wayward Souls? Why was it removed?

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Seems to be Google's enforcing of 64 bit binaries only? Seems they are hinting at that. Lots of android apps are 32 bit only, and Google is starting to ban them. Believe me, with a Pixel phone, you just don't have a choice on the matter.

Oh. I didn't know that was actually an issue under Android. I mean, this is all Java stuff, precompiled bytecode. I also have a Pixel phone, but never noticed anything in that direction.
