There is a legitimate reason for that. If you unpublish an app, existing users can't download it. The workaround is to put a high price so nobody will buy new copies.
- lxgr 7y agoIs that still true, though? I think I've seen cases of apps being unpublished for new purchases (even free ones) but still available for downloads of existing users in both Google's and Apple's stores.
- epx 7y agoI had recently unpublished an app of mine expecting it would still be available for purchasers, didn't work. Had to resort to the outrageous price trick.
- DHPersonal 7y agoThat's strange–I wonder why unpublishing didn't work for you. I have seen several apps be taken off the store by various companies but remain on my list of Purchased apps on the App Store. I can still download the apps but not see the entry on the App Store when I tap on the app's name for details.
