I have upgraded my iPad from 2 gen to 4th gen. New iPad been restored from my old iPad back up.
The Fortnite app is there but obviously canno be reinstalled from App Store. Checked under my purchases (Not on this iPad tab) and not there. Same account I have on my iPhone where Fortnite is installed but cannot see the app under purchased.
Is there anyway that I can reinstall it? Could be a glitch on my account?
Any help is appreciated
iPad, iOS 10
Fortnite has been withdrawn from the Apple App Store - as such, it cannot be downloaded to new devices, or re-downloaded to an existing device.
Perhaps you are not aware the the Apple and the Developer of Fortnite are currently in legal dispute?
Whilst your complaint and disappointment is understandable, this problem is not of Apple’s making.
Epic threw you and the rest of its Apple customers under the bus. Epic is using you as bargaining chip; you need to direct your complaint at the App Developer.
Epic broke their contractual/commercial agreements with Apple - resulting in withdrawal of the Fortnite App from App Store.
No debate is being offered - merely the facts as known.
As for (re)installation of an App that has been withdrawn from the Apple App Store, it simply isn’t possible. All App downloads are digitally signed and can only be installed on the target device. It is not possible to transfer/install an App from another source.
Yes I am fully aware and until Sept 2020 you could reinstall
Fortnite from the "purchased" tab. It seems that Apple completely deleted
the app from any source which is unfair that us "the clients" are
penalized because this legal battle. Personally, I have spent thousand of £ in
Apple products and also a good fair amount in Epic products. This should be
solved behind the scene without affecting the consumers
Thanks for your reply, to be honest I am not here for a debate but only to figure it out how to reinstall the app as I am still able to play it on my other IPad. So I guess I have to figure this out in other ways. Thanks for your input on this matter, appreciated.
