If you had another device using the same AppleID, when auto download is on
in iTunes, apps are auto-synced when downloaded. If I download on iPhone...
next time I go to iPad the app will be there.

JP,

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.

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.

Ashley,

I can only comment on my own personal experience when purchasing a
new

iPhone a little less than a month ago and restoring my backup to it. 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.

Hi Alan,

As far as we know apps are tied to a specific Apple ID, and if a
phone is

restored from an iCloud backup, then all previous app downloads should
be restored as well. If you're aware of a new change will you please
share a link so I can get up to speed?

Thanks!
Ashley
