Apps Showing Pending Update in App Store But Can't Upload

I Have several apps that are no longer showing after the recent OS update. They have been showing Pending Update for a month or so. I cannot update them because there is no update option. I can no longer use the apps because they disappeared although they still show in Settings On my IPAD Air.

Hi Scross0613,


Not sure why those apps are no longer on your iPhone, or why there's no update button.


Have you tried downloading them from the Purchased area or from a computer with iTunes?
