App Store now lets you grab the last compatible app version on legacy devices. . Apple has updated the App Store backend to allow for legacy app downloads, per tips we received this morning and this Reddit thread.Starting today, trying to grab an app on the App Store from one of the unsupported i.OS devices now presents users with a prompt offering to download the last compatible version available for their legacy hardware. Previously, a developer posting a new app build would render older versions unavailable on the App Store. This improvement should be especially useful after i. OS 7 arrives on Wednesday as owners of unsupported devices are now permitted to access the last compatible build on their outdated device…Apple’s i. OS devices tend to have a really good lifespan as the company goes to great lengths to support older hardware so this change is going to increase the stickiness of the platform.
A goat that was extremely bored, ornery, or both decided to smash in the front door of polyurethane manufacturer Argonics Inc.’s Colorado office this weekend, and. The top- right image depicts downloading Instagram on a second- generation i. Pod touch. You can easily realize who this is going to appeal to. For starters, to just about anyone whose pre- i. Phone 4 is collecting dust in the drawer. Owners of the original i. Phone, which can’t run anything beyond the i. Phone OS version 3. Don’t forget that the i. Phone 3. G only supports i. OS 4. 2. 1 so the ability to download the last compatible app version will breathe new life into their handset – as opposed to booting an i. Phone 3. G only to be greeted with an App Store store full of apps you can’t install. No more this. More than anything, the move benefits owners of an i. Phone 3. GS. While that device doesn’t support i. OS 7, at least its owners won’t be locked out of i. OS 6 apps. Of course, if the app in question initially debuted on the App Store as an i. OS 7- only download, you’ll be left out in the cold. As you know, Apple doesn’t require developers to support older hardware. Another takeaway: buying a new app on an older i. OS device will download the last compatible version while offering the latest build on up- to- date hardware. And because you own the app, you can leave star ratings and reviews on the current version, based on your old version purchase. It’s entirely conceivable that this handy feature could come in play when developers update their wares for the i. Phone 5. S and its 6. A7 chip. As we told you, Apple yesterday prompted developers to submit apps optimized for the 6. At first, 6. 4- bit versions will be separate downloads until next month when devs will be able to incorporate both 3. Phones and i. Pads. After those 3. 2/6. OS 7 builds will still be allowed to access the previous app version supporting their hardware, and that’s a good thing. Dig Into Nearly 3. Years of Free Classic Science Fiction.
