So, what actually happened with Wayward Souls? Why was it removed?

Apple probably does the same thing. You pay 20 bucks for an app that gets taken down from the store: does the next phone get it still?

Yeah - I have lots of apps that I paid for that have been delisted or aren’t compatible with my current model iPhone. I had a couple that were installed but got “offloaded” so I still have the icon but the app is gone forever :)

Technically won’t be able to download from the app store but using applications like imazing to download it and as long as you previously owned it, Apple will restore your purchases.

I’ve been using a manga reader that got taken off the store around 2017, still use it and transfer it to each new device (works for both phone and iPad). The ad-free in-app purchase restores just fine too.

Get a custom OS on Android and install free standing apks. Actually, many apks are hacked anyway. So find and just install them. No need to change OS. But rooting+custom OS might offer ways to make it way easier.

Usually distribution rights or breach of contract
