how can I rebuy my Apps?

So a few years ago I bought myself an Ipad Air 3 and bought some accessories from China, in which the seller "Gift" me a few apps by sharing an alt account(Goodnotes, Procreate etc.) and I took it (Dumb idea, but younger me wasn't the smartest guy, nor the richest one). Obviously Apple found the shared account and now I cannot update or redownload the apps. Fast forward now I have bought a new iPad and I cannot buy the apps that I've "Already Bought".

So question now is, how should I "rebuy" these apps and download them?

That's illegal.

And you have already found out that yourself.

You have to buy those apps again with your own Apple ID.

Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


How to get apps for iPhone or iPad

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store app.

2. Browse through the Today, Games, Apps, or Arcade tabs to find apps you like. Or tap the Search tab to look for something specific. If you find a game that says Arcade, subscribe to Apple Arcade [at: Join Apple Arcade - Apple Support ] to play the game.

3. Tap or click the price or Get button. If you see the Open button instead of a price or Get button, you already bought or downloaded that app.


Not all apps are available in all countries, so if you can't find one keep this in mind.
