Please help, I have really tried the FAQs, online guides, youtube videos and really struggling.
Ive read the posting guide and think I am following all guidelines. Been so much to read.
My little boy is Autistic and doesn’t understand some things so I am really desperate as this is upsetting him greatly. Please help.
Basically, I am trying to load an older app version onto my ipad for my son. I already have the current version downloaded from the official store so its recognised in my apple account as an app I own. So I am just trying to sort out an older version. (The older version is visibly different which is why he wants that one).
The app is currently uninstalled.
My ipad is the ipad mini latest one and running ios14. It is not jailbroken.
I have purchased VIP status on this website for your appstore. I also purchased imazing and Anytrans which say they can load/install IPA files.
I found a supposedly older IPA on a different store-website and tried to install it via imazing and Anytrans and they both say it “failed” but don’t elaborate why. I don’t know if its because the ipa I got is corrupted or is it because its described as decrypted? I don’t know. Maybe its because imazing and Anytrans cannot install ipas afterall though they seem fine with ipas they themselves create from backing them up off my device.
Anyway, I located the game in your store and tried to download an older ipa from your store, but it says my quota is reached, despite me upgrading to VIP, so I don’t know why my quota is zero, but I am having to wait until tomorrow to try that again.
I have seen there is a thing called sideloadly but I am trying to avoid that because the fact it needs to keep verifying the app every 7 days scares me because if the app stops, my autistic son will be devastated. Also, sideloadly says it will not end up allowing in-app purchases which my son will likely need. So trying to avoid using sideloadly but if that’s the only way then please advise. Thats why I was trying to use imazing and Anytrans instead of sideloadly.
Seeing as in my apple account I technically “own” this app (and it is a free app anyway) I really just want a way to be able to simply get an older IPA and install it to my device so the device/store/etc just sees it as legitimate and I can carry on using it no problems, that’s all I need. But I have read so much info and out-of-date stuff I am lost and out of my depth.
Also, jailbreaking scares me and I have heard horror stories of suddenly the device not working when apple updates things. So thats why Ive not done that. But if I need to then advice is appreciated thanks.
Please please help, I am desperate.
FYI: The app if its relevant is Dinosaur Zoo – The Jurassic Game
Thank you for any help Thank you.
