Where are my third party apps in iTunes?

Trying to migrate third-party apps from my 6S to my new 8 Plus. Syncing/connecting the new phone with iTunes but I can't migrate the apps I've downloaded over the years to the new device.


Where do I find a list of those apps?

iMac (Flat Panel), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

iTunes no longer manages apps. However, it will still manage their data as part of backups.


Make sure you have a backup of your 6S with iTunes. Then, with iPhone 8 Plus, restore from that backup. The apps should then all download to your new phone. Going forward, you'll need to apply updates to those apps directly to the phone.
