Or am I out of luck?
iPod touch, iOS 6.1
This was close enough. I found elsewhere that the "trick" is to download the latest app to itunes on the computer, then attempt to get it from the iPod. Up pops the window, it downloads the "correct version", and the rest is like falling off your toboggan. (not as painful as falling off your bicycle.)
iOS 6.1.6 is the highest iOS your 4th gen iPod Touch can go.
If you need apps for that iPod and iOS version, you can try to download the latest app from the iOS App Store and if the developer has left an older, compatible version on Apple's app servers, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device. Would you like to download this version now.
Tap the OK button just below the prompt.
FYI,
Not every app you attempt to download will have an iOS 6.1.6 compatible version. For older apps that may still have an older iOS version available, the lowest compatible iOS version of an app is iOS 4.2.1.
The search for iOS 6.1.6 compatible apps will be trial and error, but they are out there.

Good Luck!
A lot of developers leave their older apps on Apple's App Store servers.
There are PLENTY of older apps out in the iOS App Store.
Some apps have gone all the way back to either iOS 4.2.1 and/or iOS 3.2.1!
For iOS 6? Most likely, you don't. Most developers stopped supporting iOS 6 several years ago.
How do I get google drive for ios 6?
