Or, you can turn to an alternative to iTunes 12.7 and download and install iTunes 12.6.3, which has access to the iTunes App Store on a Mac. Download version 12/6/3 from this link. As to passwords on the iPhone, they can be made secure using an encrypted password app such as 1Password. Connect your iPhone and stop any syncing process that fires automatically; Now, delete the buggy app from your iPhone; In iTunes, click on the “Apps” link from the sidebar. This shows the apps that are available in the last backup. (or basically, all apps that you installed and synced) Find the app whose older version you want to install. Assuming there isn't a Mac version (or ripoff) of the iOS app you're keen to run, your other alternative is to download simulator software that mimics the behaviour of an iPad on a different platform. App.io provides a capable ecosystem for checking and enhancing applications. Once you sync your iOS app with App.io you can use this cloud-based service on Windows, Mac, and Android devices. 7-days free trial for testing the emulator before purchasing. Lagfree and simplistic UI; App.io streams your mobile apps from the cloud to.

Good design is at the heart of everything we cover here at Beautiful Pixels. We’ve long been admirers of app icons (so long, App Icon Gallery). We often come across amazing app icons on the App Store such as the icons for Pixtiss or even Shortcuts. Downloading these icons has never been easy on iPhone or iPad, unless you know how to use Siri Shortcuts to download app icons from the App Store.

I’m about to recommend a shortcut that has a minor limitations. This shortcut will allow you to download app icons for any app that is on the App Store or on the Mac App Store. If you want to download the icons for first-party apps such as App Store itself, this shortcut won’t help because it needs the app to be listed on one of these app stores. (I know, I was hoping for an icon-ception too).

How to Download App Icons From App Store

The App Icon Downloader shortcut is your best friend if you want to download app icons. If you’re not sure how to set up and use shortcuts, please check out this post first.

Download App Icon Downloader shortcut.
Open the Shortcuts app, go to the My Shortcuts tab, and tap App Icon Downloader to run the shortcut.
Now enter the name of the app (Hint: Try ReadKit, which has a lovely icon on the Mac App Store).
Select the device — iPhone, iPad, or Mac — from the list. For ReadKit, select Mac.
Tap the name of the app from the search results in the pop-up.
Now you’ll see the full app icon. Tap Done on the top-left.
A new pop-up will ask if you want to save the image, send it, or mask it. Tap Mask Image to convert this to an iOS-style icon with rounded corners or a circular icon. Alternatively you may save or send it.

Sounds easy, right? It absolutely is. Keep watching this space for more such useful shortcuts. We’ll be publishing more of these a few times every week.

One of your favorite apps was recently updated with all new features. Unfortunately, it no longer supports the iOS version running on your device. How would you re-install the older version of the app on your iPhone or iPad?

Unlike before, installing an older version of an iOS app is pretty simple. Albeit the process is slightly under the wraps. Hence, not too many folks would be aware of this important feature. Let me show you how it works!

UPDATE: The method is not working for now. We shall update the post as soon as we find the solution.

How to Re-install Older Version of iPhone or iPad Apps

Note: This simple trick will work with only those apps that were once compatible with the iOS version running on your device. For instance, Facebook had the support of iOS 7. Hence, you can download the app even if it doesn’t support that iOS version.

Step #1. Launch App Store on your iOS device.

Step #2. Now, search the app you wish to re-install.

Step #3. Once you have found the app, go ahead and install it as usual.

Step #4. Now, you will get a popup that would read something like, “Facebook requires iOS 8, or later You can still download the older version of the app.”

You need to tap on Download the prompt to confirm. Then, let the download process be completed. Once it’s done, launch the app, sign in to it and start using it just like before.

What if the new version of the app is compatible with your device but, you still want to use the older version?

Open iTunes.
Connect your iPhone and stop any syncing process that fires automatically
Now, delete the buggy app from your iPhone
In iTunes, click on the “Apps” link from the sidebar. This shows the apps that are available in the last backup. (or basically, all apps that you installed and synced)
Find the app whose older version you want to install and drag-n-drop it on the iPhone section in the sidebar. (The device section)
Now, all you do is simply Sync your iPhone with iTunes

What if I don’t have a backup?

You can ask any of your friends who *might* have a backup of the app in its older version. Obviously, you cannot sync your iPhone/iPad on their computer so you can simply copy the app. To do this (on your friend’s computer):

Click on “Apps” section in iTunes
Find the app and right-click → Show in Windows Explorer
You’ll find the .ipa file. Copy this to your system
Once done, you just have to drag-n-drop this .ipa file on your device in iTunes

That’s it!

Your take?

So, that’s how you can continue to use any app even if its current version isn’t compatible with your device. As a user, I really appreciate this feature. What’s your take on it? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
