Is there a way to “Update” an outdated app to work on current versions of iOS?

I recently found the IPA of a really old mobile game I used to play that is now removed from the appstore, and wanted to play it again. But there is a problem, where it “needs to be updated by the developer to work on this version of iOS”. 
 

And to be frank, I do not know how to do any of that on my own. I did attempt to try and install the ipa using iosgods app+ custom install to change the minimum iOS version to see if that would work.

 

It didn’t, so now I’m here to see if anyone has a solution to the problem I bring before you. The question being: “How can I update an old mobile game to work with the current version of iOS?”

 

I would like to see if there’s any way to bring this blast from the past to the present day, despite being basically 10 years out of date. Currently on an iPhone XR, iOS 15.5, and no older model of phone to attempt to try and install it on.

Hello,

Sounds like the only way you can play it right now is to get a 32-bit device as Apple has dropped support for that since iPhone 5s & iOS 9, 10 or 11.

Damn, I was hoping there was a way to get around the 32-bit problem by somehow changing something in there, oh well. RIP oldie. Maybe one day, there’ll be something to do it.
