Extracting Data from an Old iOS App Broken by iOS 14.5

Apple&#x27;s been automatically updating apps with these new signatures by themselves. You&#x27;ll see changelogs with the following &quot;This app has been updated by Apple to use the latest signing certificate.&quot;<p>I believe this is the case of an app that has been removed from the App Store though, which will receive no such support.

Perhaps the real lesson to be learned is do not store your data in a place that you have no control over it.

There are reports that iOS 14.5 changed some sort of signature system, requiring people that first installed certain apps from long enough ago to redownload the app from the App Store. Chances are that if you delete and redownload Momento Classic from your current iPhone it’ll “just work.”

I had a very similar problems with MiniHack app on my older iPhone, that it stopped working after iOS 14.5 upgrade, but which still worked on a newer iPhone 11 that also runs 14.5.<p>Came to these comments specifically to find a reason for that (reinstalling an app was not an option because I think the app no longer is visible in the App Store).<p>Thanks to @xuki, I tried offloading and reinstalling the app, and it fixed the problem!

To be honest, this is another reason I moved away from Apple back to a Google Pixel running CalyxOS. I&#x27;m choosing to only install banking apps from Aurora and everything else is coming straight from fdroid. A massive thank you to Calyx and also to all the fdroid developers for making my life more simple and privacy focused.

Similar thing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=341IsnWdaT4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=341IsnWdaT4</a><p>It&#x27;s a video about the efforts to preserve an old iOS App that had been broken by new updates and removed from the app store

Can someone tell me what app this is in the article? It doesn&#x27;t look like the MacOS App Store but looks similar.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tidbits.com&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2021&#x2F;05&#x2F;Setapp-sqlite-640x469.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tidbits.com&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2021&#x2F;05&#x2F;Setapp-sqlite-640x469.jp...</a>

Sounds like a good user story.<p>As an application user, I want to start a career as a software engineer, so that I may save my data from a deliberately crippled application.

&quot;I have no one to blame but myself&quot; is not the evaluation I come away with.

This is exactly why I have become increasingly wary of any new app to store any kind of long-term data in. The fact that an OS update breaks an app and the developer is unwilling or unable to fix it is unacceptable in my book.
