Is this why so many of the apps on my ipad "need to be updated to work with this version of ios"? and there is no update.

  No, that's because they're 32-bit apps, which iOS no longer supports.

    Which is the same thing.

      It isn't? There's a difference between dropping 32bit libraries from your OS (after a lot of time in which Apple clearly said "we will drop support!") and banning for using unauthorized APIs inside the MAS.

        32 bit support is also an API. MacOS agreed to run apps compiled to target a particular instruction set. Arbitrarily refusing to honor that (undocumented) agreement is the same as breaking an undocumented API. Here they broke all the 32 bit interfaces for their OS.
