“Until the next iOS update, that is, rendering the app unusable.”
True, I’ve put settings as manual update only. I will not be updating. LOL
Apps and games are forced to update on a regular basis to stay on the App Store.
Here’s on that will affect many games/ apps: Apple is forcing companies to remove device unique identifiers from their apps (mainly used with ads and in-app purchases). Of course, you can only down-publish to a certain lower iOS build versions. Hence, apps won’t work on devices not upgraded.
Apple has ways to force you to upgrade.
