These are minor updates released to quickly fix the issue. Sure, there is some work involved here but it is still better than updating without breaking havoc. The digital signature is a security feature which is really cool, however, not many people know about it.
You need to be careful with the process. Although it is simple to follow, the most important point is to not run or open the old version of the app after installing it. There is no app, as far as I know, that can check the digital signature directly. So you will have to follow the steps. I will update the post if I find one.

Top Gadgets. Brands Mobiles. This is a really smart feature from Apple because it offers you this compatible version but it also makes sure that you're getting the newest that you can. If an app has been updated five times a year, you'd struggle to know which was the very latest you could use but Apple knows and Apple tells you.
Apps get updated for a reason. You're not going to have the same experience with an older version of an app on an older device than you will with a newer setup. Speaking of newer setups, though, it looks as if you can only use this download trick with apps that you have previously bought. If this older device is your sole iOS one then that's true, but if you have a newer one as well, you can do something more.
On the newer iOS device, find and buy an app you want — that you know has a previous version which will work on your older machine. That's the hard part. There's no surefire way of knowing for certain and the best you can do is take an educated guess. If you can find references online to the app being updated around the date of your older device, you're probably in luck. Buy it on the newer device and then it's in your Purchased history on all your iOS devices. And that means also on your older one.
Give it a few minutes for the information to propagate through the App Store but thereafter you should be able to do this download trick and get the previous version that works with your older device. If for some reason there wasn't a version that ever worked on your older device then there's nothing you can do.
However, you've at least got that app on your new iOS device and can use it there. You can also check out our official Instagram account for exclusive photos. Customers across key Asia markets can no longer guarantee getting iPads or the iPhone 13 in time for the holidays, as shortages push delivery dates into January. If you're having trouble navigating the larger display of your iPhone, Apple's Reachability feature can make it significantly easier to use your device one-handed.
Although still elevated compared to the iPhone 12, estimated delivery dates appear to be contracting for the iPhone 13 lineup, according to JP Morgan. Apple used the Razer Blade 15 Advanced as a point of comparison for the performance of the M1 Max chip. Here's how the rest of the notebook compares against the inch MacBook Pro.
The iPad mini is an ideal companion for avid readers, but Amazon's Paperwhite ebook reader is still a good proposition for bookworms. By matti. It doesn't offer me the possiblity to download the last compatible version. I want to download the Soundcloud app. I guess, I tried to download the app 6 mouth ago and it offered me the last compatible version at that time. Is it possible that there was a change with the introduction of iOS 8? No, you should still be able to download older versions of apps, there was no change with iOS 8.
However, not all developers will let you download older versions of their apps. I would check with the developer of Soundcloud and see if they offer this.
Thank you for this article! NetFlix lives again on my resurrected 3G running albeit slowly iOS4. Thank you. I got a compatible version of Skype for my iPod 4th gen!!! Thank you so much! It's really work for me, the workaround. The App requires iOS 7 so it won't let me download it from the App store.
I tried getting the app on my computer then installing it on my synced device to get an older version but the message asking me if I want to install the older version never comes up. It only says that I need iOS for the app to download. I had the previous version of the app on my ipod up until 10 min ago before I deleted it to download the new one before I knew that I needed iOS 7 for the app , but I don't know if I have ever backed up my ipod before to try to downgrade the current app.
Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch. Note that not all apps offer older versions. If you don't have the app in your iTunes library on your computer, then the older version is lost, sorry. Dear Apple Club, I have the older version of an app on my 1st gen I pad. What I am trying to do is to get this particular app onto my new I pad air. I have DL'd the app from I tunes when I synced my devices, but the version that showed up on my Air, did not have any of my data on it from the older version although I logged in.
Could you advise me step by step as to how to resolve this problem? I asked the app developers, but I think they are from a foreign country and are not getting back with me. If I didn't really love this app I wouldn't mess with it. Thanks bunches! There are different ways that apps store data, and we probably wouldn't have knowledge of a particular app, so you'll probably have to wait for a reply from their support.
I have an app, Music Tube, that I have updated twice since the version I like, and last night I was able to go back to the most previous version using a video on Youtube, which I think showed the same way.
Is it possible to go back to the version before it? If I can't do it on my own computer, I told my cousin about it. Maybe she hasn't updated it since then, but she might of.
Enjoying Spotify right now, not as fancy as the latest version I can see in my android mobile but oh I don't mind. It's the Music that matters. Thank you, thank you, thank you! When Yahoo Weather added ads I tried this method of local installation to get around it.
It worked! This works brilliantly! These instructions are a lot better than Apple's as they assume you already own the app! By Jonika. Instagram used to let download the last compatible version with my ios6 4th gen iPod and now it won't let me redownload. Instead of the message being:the newest version requires ios7 but the latest compatible version can be downloaded, and then it giving me the option to download the other version it just tells me: this application requires ios7 to be opened and used and the only option below is ok Please Help.
I just now downloaded Instagram on iOS 6 without issue - the older version was still offered. Do you have an existing copy of the app that you are trying to update? Are you using a different Apple ID than when you downloaded it before?
Both of these could be the cause of not being offered an older version. When was the last time you downloaded it successfully? I have the exact same problem as jonika r. I had Instagram on my iPod 4th gen and I deleted it like usual but this one time it didnt pop up the option to download the last compatible version. I am still using the same exact apple ID as before but same problem it only tells me that the app requires ios7 or later still no option to download the last compatible version.
Please help guys I need Instagram back bad!!!
