So I admittedly have not touched IF since the summer began. Xplane 11 grabbed my interest and I thought I’d play them while I waited for global. But since FVA has an event today, I went to the app and reloaded it (dusted it off) and went to by a live subscription. I entered all the stuff I needed to and right before it purchased the subscription…the whole app crashed. I went back to my desktop and it was missing.
I speant maybe five minutes confused and looking for it before I went to the App Store to just open it from there. I found the photo above.
Do I seriously have to pay for an app I already bought? I mean yes I haven’t played in a bit but I’ve never had an app that I have bought that requires a payment after you’ve bought it.
I was hoping someone could help me out with this before the FVA event.
This shouldn’t happen unless you´re on a different Apple ID, eventually try and click restore purchases in the bottom of the App Store page.
Or perhaps FDS just really need money ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Go to your purchases in the appstore. Should be there.
Okay…how do I find that lol. I’m not the best at figuring these things out.
As @emil mentioned, this can’t happen if you’re on the same Apple ID you were as when you purchased the app to begin with. You should see a cloud with an arrow pointing downwards.
However, if you are signed in to the same account and App Store still tells you to purchase it you have to contact Apple.
In the bottom you should have the “categories”, “updates”, etc. Right there.
I just went there and IF is not under purchased “on iPad” or “not on this iPad”
Then you have to contact Apple, as it´s most likely an issue on their end.
I personally haven’t changed my Apple ID but I know my dad was working on his new iPhone and we are connected via the cloud. So maybe that messed things up?
Then I have no idea what is going on. As Seb said, I think it is up to Apple.
That Cloud family thing can mess up a whole lot of things. If you were to disconnect from that it’ll probably work.
Speaking from experience there…
Ran out of likes 😉. Wish you luck.
Okay I’ll make sure to look into that. Thank you.
