@AlexJames75 So you're trying to install an older version of the app.

Do you have access to a computer? If yes, please DM me & let me know which version you're looking for.

Also, is this the app? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dinosaur-zoo-the-jurassic-game/id522379712

I think one of the problems might be this:

This particular developer when on android has a couple of different versions of the game, similar and sharing graphics/mechanics etc but not exactly the same, very minor differences and a different name (Dino World and Dino Zoo).

The person who made the youtube video has said that the Dino Zoo in the apple app store that you linked is the game, BUT I have a sad suspicion that the developer might have used to had a second version of the game, called Dino World, that is no longer in the app store and thus why I cannot locate it at all. This would be the one needed.

Is there anyway to see snapshots of the older app store to see if the variant Dino World used to exist there but no longer does? At least it would give me some closure even if I cannot get hold of it.

Thanks again to everyone

Hi I managed to get the process above to work but it wasnt the version I was hoping for, so now I do not yet know which version I am after. Its basically a youtube video that my little boy has seen and I am trying to find the same version but now I am not sure how to find it without trying every version I can find. All I have to go on is the visuals in the video and yes I believe thats the app.

Are you able to send me the video? I can go through each version & look for you.

If you can give the version number your son want theh maybe we can find the built number for you for easier step

Unless the app version is removed on the appstore there is no way to use the old version anymore

Hi

There are a few videos all with the title of "Dino World" on the channel CJ and Kai Playground on youtube.

Here are the main ones:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTMakPqJYLk&pp=ygUgZGlubyB3b3JsZCBjayBhbmQga2FpIHBsYXlncm91bmQ%3D

There are a few more too, not sure which ones are best to give any info or tips on what could identify the actual one. I am not used to ios enough to be able to tell.

I do fear that the company had 2 seperate versions of the game and have removed one from the store. Even though the video creator does insist that the link above, Dinosaur Zoo, is indeed the actual game they played for the videos.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Oh and also, just to add, the main feature of the videos that my little boy is desperate for is the fact the health bars of the dinosaurs in the battle scenes are yellow (whereas in other versions, and all the android versions, the health bars are green). I know that seems unimportant but thats how his autism works

Looks like I found some information about the game.

Looks like they changed the name of the game. I can get you an older version but I’m not sure when they introduced the different coloured health bars etc. I can try though.

Ah so the name change now makes sense thank you so much.

Ive looked through quite a lot of older versions that I could find and not found one with the yellow health bars that matches the videos but you certainly know much more than me so I will keep my fingers crossed thank you

Edit: If the date of the name change is known then that might put a highlight closer to when it changed. Sadly this company changes the game a LOT so there are loads of differences between versions which may make it hard/impossible to get I just dont know.

Are the versions listed in the decrypted store of this iosgods website the only versions also available from the official apple app store because there seem to be some big missing chunks in version numbers on the list?

Or is there anywhere else they are available from please?

For anyone following:

It looks like the game is no longer in the general app store, however I have found a person who used to have the game and using their purchased items in their account they are still able to download the game. Sooo once they download the game we are hoping they can extract the IPA file and send it to me.

However...

I think it will be encrypted to their account yes? So not installable direct to my ipad???

Is there a process on decrypting the IPA so I can then install it ( and if I need to jailbreak my tablet then so be it )

Thanks

AlexJames75 · April 27, 2023

I now have the IPA from a friend. I assume its encrypted to their account. Please can I ask the best way now to decrypt it to install it to my ipad. Im assuming imazing wont do it because of encryption though not yet tried that
