In iOS 12, Restrictions are now called "Screen Time"

Restrictions for installing and deleting apps are listed under "Prevent iTunes & App Store purchases"

...

You can also prevent your child from being able to install or delete apps, make in-app purchases, and more. To prevent iTunes & App Store purchases or downloads:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
  3. Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases.
  4. Choose a setting and set to Don't Allow.

I have found that with the restrictions option being remove I can no longer give access to the App store. The screen time is disabled and shows that access to installing Apps, deleting Apps and in-app purchases are all set to allow. So, basically without the option to go into restrictions I cannot grant access to the App store. The Rep I spoke with said the only option is to erase all content and settings and to set up the phone as new. Please advise.
