iBook app replaced by newer version which can be used

Dear Apple,


Restoring a backup of my iphone 3gs. Why is my iBook.app deleted and replaced by a useless newer version? This happened before with my old iPod touch. Any sollutions to get the old iBook.app back?

Thank you very much.


Best regards,


Bastiën

  1. Find iBooks app in the directory HD > Users > "User name" > Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications > iBooks 2.1.1.ipa
  2. Connect your iPhone to iTunes
  3. In iTunes > Archive > add to Library (cmd + O) > browse to file (in my case iBooks 2.1.1.ipa in directory HD > Users > "User name" > Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications)
  4. Press "Open"
  5. This step is optional. Make a copy of iBooks 2.1.1.ipa. Just in case it gets accidentally overwritten in the future by iTunes during an update
