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)
Apps have moved from iTunes to the App Store.

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.

Thank you for your help!
Where are my third party apps in iTunes?
