You will no longer be able to download the removed applications from the App Store

Apple has added a novelty to its App Store, and this time it is something that will not be very funny to almost anyone. The company has decided that any application withdrawn by its developers from the App Store can no longer be downloaded even by those users who purchased it.. This novelty has not been communicated by the company, but the users themselves have noticed the recent withdrawal of Tweetbot 3, an application that has been replaced by the new Tweetbot 4. We give you the details below.

Until now, when a developer decided to withdraw an application from the Apple store, users who had bought it always had the option to download them from the purchased items tab. In this history all the applications that we had acquired were stored, regardless of whether they were retired or not, which was the best possible backup of our applications. However, now they will also disappear from that history, preventing download from the App Store. This was the case with Tweetbot 3, an application that was withdrawn with the departure of Tweetbot 4 to prevent anyone from being able to buy the old one by mistake, but which caused those users who had bought the old one and not the new one to suddenly see themselves without being able to download it in your new iPhones.

Tweetbot's developer has come up with a solution that seems to be sufficient for the moment to fix this problem. And is that If the application is available in a single App Store around the world, it can already be downloaded from your list of purchased applications. Which country has been chosen? Burkina Faso. The African country will be the only one in which users can continue to buy Tweetbot 3 and 4, and thanks to that those of us who have bought version 3 will be able to continue downloading it from our purchased applications section even if it does not appear in our App Store.
