Transfer discontinued app from 13 Pro to 15 Pro?

[dborod]

I have been playing this 10x10 2048 game for several years.

This app is no longer available in the App Store, I have a new phone, but there does not seem to be a way to transfer the binary from the old phone to the new phone.

In addition to the regular over the air transfer, I also did a copy and restore of the phone to my Mac, but that does not seem to cause the binary to be moved.

I am sad to be losing this time, diversion game, and my progress in it. Posting for sympathy, and perhaps someone has some miraculous solution that I am not aware of.

Have you checked the download history through App Store>Profile>Purchased> and search for the app. If the app was removed from the App Store then you will not find it.

I have not tried this since the phone tells me that this app is no longer available. Just checked, and it doesn't appear in the list of previously purchased apps.

The last resort is to pull IPA file from the old phone and transfer to new phone.

I believe iTunes may be able to but I haven’t used it in awhile so not sure if it still works. But iMazing is great tool to download the app to library then export the IPA from the old phone and then import to the library and install it on the new phone. I don’t remember if the free version support it but you can check it out.

I was able to extract the IPA file using iMazing, and it runs on my Mac Studio. Are you sure there is a way to push that extracted ipa file onto the iPhone 15? It doesn't look like there is a way to do that. I have a license for it, but I can't seem to see how that can be done.

Does it recognize the 15? You’ll need to import the IPA from library after select the 15 and then install the app

I used iMazing to backup the Pebble app from my iPhone 12 and then installed it on my iPhone 15 Pro. Worked flawlessly for me.
