I accessed my account in the App Store, went to Purchase history and it defaulted to showing the "Last 90 days" as a link

That’s very interesting, Jeff. I don’t see that in my App Store app.

Looks to be new with iPadOS 17.4 Alfred, all purchases not just iPad.

No icon shown for V1 apps, they are gone.

@Paul Mudditt

Thanks for that screenshot and yes, that's exactly what I see.

@Alfred

I'm also running iPadOS 17.4 so perhaps this is a change in that version.

Unless Apple/Serif fixes things, the V1 apps seem to have been deleted from the app store database. Not even an icon shown here.

Thanks, both. I’ve just updated to iPadOS 17.4, so I’m seeing it now, too.

But that's only in the Purchase History, isn't it? And that isn't relevant to reinstalling the application. You use the Apps section, not the Purchase History, for that.

That’s new in iPadOS 17.4. What is now ‘Purchase History’ (with order details only) was previously ‘Purchased’, with ‘Open’ or ‘Download’ buttons, as appropriate.

I have reported to Apple using the feedback app that the apps are missing. Yes they are in the apps section but this is what I see when I try to download.  It maybe something wrong with my 15 years old account but don’t think so.

I can still download Photo (V1) from the Apps section, when it is not installed on my iPad.

On iPadOS 17.4 Walt ? If so, good.

I was able to install Photo version 1 earlier, but when I tried to install Designer version 1 just now I got a ‘Cannot Connect’ error.

Downloading now. If I tap again on the entry in the list I get ‘Cannot Connect’, but it’s still downloading!

Ah good, so teething problem with iPadOS 17.4 app store so good. I won't test it by deleting the app just yet though although I did take a backup to my Mac yesterday for the first time this year just in case.

Yup, it looks like a teeny little teething problem. My download completed OK and I reinstalled the app without any issues.
