return from oblivion
It has also become possible to bypass Apple restrictions for banking apps removed from the App Store. For a method that allows you to return official versions of mobile programs, you will need a computer, a cable with a Lightning connector and the iMazing program, writes the portal iphones.ru.
According to iMazing developers, all apps installed with the user’s Apple ID can be restored without forgetting.
This also applies to apps from Russian banks, the Spotify streaming service, and other apps that are not currently available in the App Store.
Apps are installed on a smartphone via iMazing. There is no need to make a backup copy and restore from it. The basic requirement is that the apps exist in the Apple ID account, that is, they have been user-installed in the past.
The iMazing program must be downloaded from the official website and installed. The free functionality of the program is sufficient to perform the necessary operations with remote applications.
Next, you need to connect the iPhone to the computer using a cable and unlock the mobile device so that it connects to the PC or laptop. The following steps are already performed within the iMazing program. First you need to open the “Application Management” tab and go to the “Media Library” section. The user needs to enter the name of the desired application in a special line at the bottom of the program.
The requested app will appear in the search results if installed with an Apple ID currently valid on the iPhone.
It remains only to select the item “Install on device”, for this you need to right-click on the application. Setup may require you to sign in to your Apple ID with your email address and password.
Even if the installation is successful, the application retains all restrictions imposed by Apple. For example, updates will not come. However, there is one big plus – this is a full-fledged application with full functionality, and not a web version that does not work with push notifications.
proven way
iOS developer Ivan Vavilov told socialbites.ca that the iMazing program uses a backup option that Apple created itself.
“ITunes has a similar method. There was a “Transfer purchases from iPhone” feature. iTunes took the apps, archived them to a file, and transferred them to the computer. In fact, iMazing does more or less the same thing,” he said.
According to the expert, a full backup is created for it. “You can just transfer settings, it takes up little space and it’s fast. Or just – this is when all settings and applications are transferred to the computer, ”she added.
Vavilov explained that iMazing can reinstall app files on another iPhone with the same Apple ID. Previously, it was popular to back up smartphone content to a computer, but now users almost always use iCloud cloud storage for this purpose, he continued.
“iMazing has been on the market for years, bringing functionality. This program is not that popular. Its standard functions are sufficient for the task of restoring applications, ”the developer said.
Restoring different apps is not the same, but depends on the restrictions Apple has set.
“When Spotify was restricted to a region, the country of the store changed there. That is, in the Russian version you will not find and download, but it is available in the store in other countries. And theoretically, you can download from there with an Apple ID of another region, ”explained the expert.
If we talk about the practices of Russian banks, then the problem is much more serious there.
“They delete the app or block it directly at the developer’s office. So authors can’t even go into app settings to transfer to another developer account. “Apple has made such apps unavailable in any store, neither in the CIS nor abroad.”
Developers of banking products assure that the application will continue to work without restrictions if installed on a smartphone. Bank customers without the application were advised to manage money and accounts in the web version or Internet banking, which works both on the computer and on the smartphone.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has instructed to create a Russian analogue of the App Store and Google Play application stores for iPhone and Android smartphones by June 1, 2022. The cabinet chief fears that the App Store and Google Play may limit Russian users’ ability to download apps.
“socialbites.ca” Wrote About how the Russian analogue of the App Store will be. According to the developers, it will be difficult to create an alternative due to the nature of iOS, but there are certain workarounds.
