I get this message with 2 apps now "The current version requires iOS 10.3.3 or later, but you can download the last compatible version", but I'm running 10.3.3. I restored my phone and put the last backup on but the problem persists. Does anybody know what is happening here? I can't find anything about this problem online.
iPhone 5c, iOS 10.3.3
Hi. This is a little tricky, so bear with me. Your iPhone 5c has the Apple A6 processor, the last 32-bit processor. Now, there were 2 versions of iOS 10.3 (and 10.3.3), one that included the new 64-bit APFS filesystem, and one that did not. Your phone, and the related iPad 4 got the version without APFS. These apps may be updated to use the new filesystem, which the app store infers as requiring iOS 10.3.3. So, you need to request the last compatible version, as offered by the prompt.

The developer has probably replaced their 32 bit application with a 64 bit version which requires iOS 11.x so the message they are displaying is incorrect. Contact the developer.
Thanks!. But I thought 10.3 was already 64-bit so why could that be a problem?
I suspect the confusion is entirely on Apple's side, and there's little you can do about it. As you can tell from my explanation, your 32-bit device running iOS 10.3.3 is a bit of an oddball.
Thank you Diana. I guess I'll just have to go without updating. I have the last comparable of all three apps. It was nice of you to go through the trouble to find the answer. Thank you to Erik too.
Thanks! I get it now. Is there any way I can tell the app builders that they have to change the message to something like "your phone doesn't support 64-bit..."? Or is this something apple controls? The follow up isn't working either. I download the last version but they keep telling me to update although I can't.
