"Apple Store" iOS app: login with another Apple-ID, how?

Neither of those are solutions to this issue, I'm afraid.

The point is, they have removed altogether a sign-in feature on the Apple Store iOS app.

Thus, if one wants to buy anything under their correct Stores A-ID (the A-ID they use for all hardware purchases), one simply cannot do so using the Apple Store iOS app.

The annoying consequences of this are you have to instead use a browser to purchase items on your iOS device using the A-ID you want to use (much more of a pain to enter stuff), and also you cannot simply and easily use the Apple Store iOS app anymore to check the status of your order either.

Who designs this stuff at Apple. Honestly bonkers!

NO – it's not that.

Check it yourself... You cannot use a different Apple ID for the Apple Store iOS app than the one you use for iCloud. It's not about downloading the Apple Store app itself, it's about logging into your Apple ID within the app to buy hardware within the app – it forces use of one's iCloud Apple ID only, and not the Apple ID one uses for hardware purchases.

Major problem for a LOT of users.

" However, I notice that they have "My Reservations", "My Orders", "My Devices", and "My Apple Services" (which includes "Apple Music" and "iCloud"). "

I don't have My Apple Services in there. See:

My Devices are correct, as they're obviously linked to my iCloud Apple ID. But no, the My Orders does NOT show my orders, nor does My Favourites show my favourites either. That's the point of failure within the app login at play.

What you said below is the EXACT issue we're all having:

" I would say that this is a poor oversight. If the Apple Store App should have its "sign-in information" shared with anything, it should be with the iTunes & App Store.

Even better is to have it be its own. "

iCloud Apple ID can be set, iTunes/App Store Apple ID can be set, but Apple Store Apple ID cannot be set. That's the major problem. And continues to be for the last two months since the last update to the Apple Store iOS app (the major change being introducing Dark Mode to it).

Feedback, mmm... as I said here:

" NOTE: getsatisfaction.apple.com is a failure – there is literally nowhere on there to report it; all routes lead to "not our department" responses.

The only place I could attempt to report this was inside the Apple Store iOS app, itself!

As a longterm experienced Apple user, I'm frankly shocked by such a bleeding obvious login oversight.

No neither of those are the issue. See:

A great many users are having this issue following the last update to the iOS Apple Store app. There appears to be absolutely no way to use your non-iCloud Apple ID to sign-in to the iOS Apple Store app anymore (nothing to do with the App Store or Mac App Store or Family Sharing: it's to do with simply logging into the iOS Apple Store app, where hardware purchases are made by users).

It's currently causing major issues for tens of thousands of users, at least.

I didn't say the App Store app, nor the iTunes Store app.

I'm talking about logging into the APPLE STORE iOS app. This one:
