Actually, the removal of apps from iTunes backups was introduced with iTunes 12.7 which was released last September so it's been about a year that this was the case. I'm not following your comment that having an app on another device with automatic download might enable you to get it to a new iPhone. As far as I'm aware, there is no device-to-device transfer of apps in the iOS world. If the app isn't in the Apps Store, it isn't getting on a new device. Alan Lemly

Hello, This is definitely a new thing from Apple. Where it must be in the app store. If you have it on another device, automatic download might be an option to get back on the new phone.

I had an app named Snippets that I used regularly to transfer text between computer and iPhone. However, Snippets was no longer in the Apps Store when I restored my backup to my new iPhone and therefore, it was no longer on my iPhone after the restore. I'm pretty sure apps are not included in what is backed up to either iCloud or a local computer so I'm not sure how their being tied to a particular Apple ID enters into the restoration. If the app isn't available in the Apps Store when one does their restore, there is no source from which to restore it. So, it seems your removing FlickType Classic from the Apps Store makes it no longer available to anyone restoring a backup to a new device.

If you're aware of a new change will you please share a link so I can get up to speed?
