Older iTunes Apps

Maybe try this.

If you need older versions of apps that have moved on to iOS 10 and later, tap on my link below and choose the method that best works with your current situation.

CAREFULLY read and follow ALL directions. Especially so for my computer/older iTunes procedures.

All three of my procedures/solutions work!

Downloading Older iOS 9.3.5 Versions of A… - Apple Community

A Disclaimer.

Apps may or may not have older iOS 9.3.5 versions still available from the iOS App Store.

The Netflix app has versions in the iOS App Store that go all the way back to iOS 5.1.1.

There are three ways to try/attempt to get an older version of an app. Pick the method that works best for your situation/circumstances.

Also, I would STOP using that nearly 3-year old Safari web browser, as it is, probably, not safe and secure to use any longer, and seek out a third party web browser that is STILL currently being updated and STILL being supported on iOS 9.3.5.

Heed my advice on this issue in my above link.

Many older apps simply will not be available any longer if their developer has pulled them from the App Store. So if the methods already mentioned produce none of the results your seeking, then those apps are simply no longer made available in the App Store.

They make a difference because thess still available third party Web browsers are still be updated and improved and security updated for iOS 9 and earlier.

Safari for iOS 9 stopped being updated/supported by Apple when Apple ended its support for iOS 9 nearly 3-years, ago.

Come on...

fyi: Apple requires all ios browser to use Apple's webkit.

Webkit does the heavy lifting for the browser. Any bug in webkit will not be fixed by using a different browser. ios web browser put some chrome around the browser to look different, but are basically safari in disguise.

I recently tried 5 iOS9 compatible browsers on several iOS9 devices. All had problems on ASC and United.com, the same as Safari. In the context of what rccharles says it makes sense if they are all being forced to use an older base software that web sites may no longer support.

The ones I use on both my iPad 2 and iPad Pro, have a boatload of customisation features and the two I mostly use on both of my iPads have web download managers.

Safari has no download manager.

And the particular browsers I list are all, supposedly still being kept compatible and have actually contain new features and bug fixes.

So, there has to be more than just Webkit going on inside of these browsers.

Btw, these particular browsers are also, available to IOS 11 and 12.

So, what is really going on with the existing iOS 9 ( and in some cases older version of iOS still being supoorted and updated in these third party Web browsers )that I am missing and/or you guys are missing?

We would have to read up on what the webkit does. I take it as the core web rendering technology. The other web browser put up the support structure around the core. I'd don't know what the line between the external appearance is and the core function. Another take is why are there so many ios web browsers? Because they are easy to write.

I am guessing those browsers are just introducing/changing/fixing-bugs around some central engine, a bit like cars can have different packages all built around one core design, but I am just building on what rccharles said. I can even keep "modding" my 37 year old car but even though I could make it shiny and have a modern sound system and LED bulbs, it's still a 1981 engine inside. So, I tried about 6 browsers in total with the ASC site and all of them let me view this site but none of them bring up an edit window to clicking reply, nor do several other of the ASC buttons work. I also tried several browsers when I wanted to manage a flight I took with United Airlines. The main UA site showed up as a black window. A Google search revealed a direct link to the "manage flight" page but when I tried entering a record locator it would not bring up my itinerary. This suggests to me there's something these two sites (so far) are using that isn't being updated in these browsers despite recent releases. It would make sense to me that they are using some older base browser structure and just have some added on features to customize them to the specific versions.

All web browser on ios must use the Apple HTML framework. Hence using another web browser may not make any difference.

Here is how to download older apps, if the developer left the app in

the app store.

Install the business version of itunes on your computer.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208079 If you have installed a newer version of iTunes, read the section about Library.itl http://osxdaily.com/2017/10/09/get-itunes-12-6-3-with-app-store/Down

Download the app in itunes on your computer. This will add the app to

your list of downloaded apps.

Now on the iPhone, you will be able to

see it in the list of your apps in the appstore app. The app will appear

with a cloud icon. Download it. You will get a question asking if you want to use the older version.

I used this method to download V380 to my iPhone 4 running 7.1.2.

The app installed, but when run, crashes before I can get a picture of

the app
