My App Store disappeared
I was trying to download something but the app wouldn’t open so I gave the phone to a friend to try and I think she deleted the app or it disappeared

Did you find the solution to this problem? I’m having the exact same issue. Everything says allow

Thanks for this information but this didn’t work the app is literally gone and I can’t search it
The App Store app is not one of the apps that can be deleted but it can be removed from the Home Screen. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last Home Screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it to the Home Screen.
Also note the Search window at the top of the App Library.
Another reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time, tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap iTunes & App Store Purchases, choose a setting and set to Allow.

This has happened to my 10th gen ipad. I've checked the App Library, I've checked the restrictions settings, and everything is set to allow. At this point it looks like i'll what to completely reset the ipad, unless there is something else i can try.
I've seen a few reports of that recently but haven't seen a solution. One user reported trying restart, turning Screen Time off & on, adding and removing a Screen Time passcode, none of which helped and then it finally reappeared on its own.
I am having the same issue. The app store icon is not on the home screen nor the app library on the ipad. I, too, have turned off all screen time on my daughter's iPad.
It has vanished from the home screen and App Library. I do see it in the setting, however.
I had the same problem where I had downloading apps on but it still wouldn’t appear. I found that if you go to settings>screentime>content & privacy restrictions, and then just turn off content & privacy restrictions at the top, it should fix it.
I followed the above directions. Issue with Apple. My kids used to be able to request app and I could approve, but now the App Store has disappeared if Content & Restrictions is turned on. I then have to immediately turn back on. Annoying, but Apple wants to make it difficult.
Go to Settings and tap Screen Time, tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap iTunes & App Store Purchases, choose a setting and set to Allow. Also see the following Apple Support article for more information: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
I have the exact same problem, i also reset the settings, but no solution.
