Updating IOS and strelok ?

Not sure about current update but I updated to 17.4.1 with no issues. There is a thread talking about a program that will back it up to a computer that way you can install to a new phone or in case it gets deleted. I personally went in and turned off allowing deleting of apps.
You can back it up with the iMazing app. You probably will not lose it if you update your phone, but it certainly makes sense to have a backup in place.
From where? Would it just be availble in the apple store?
I used iMazing to re-install to a new phone. That was easy but it is an old version.
My understanding is that Apple pulled it from the app store globally. But, as always, I could be wrong.
Not anymore. It was pulled from the Samsung store a month or two ago. The only place it is currently available is the Huawei app store.
For anyone planning on purchasing it, there appears to be a geoblocker for the US when you actually go to check out. So the best way to buy it is purchase Huawei store credit within the store and then use that to apply to the purchase. That seems to get around any of the region issues and no VPN is needed.

oh boy. So I did a restore on my iPhone due to an app having a problem. What I didn't know is fucking Apple doesn't back up apps like a computer, but redownloads said apps. And, of course, Strelok is no longer on the app store (I knew that part).
I had not downloaded iMazing and backed the app strelok up as I (mistakenly) believed you only had to do that once you bought a new iphone/ipad and wanted to transfer the app over.
I did back up Strelok's data to the iCloud…not that it seems to matter anymore. Years of work down the fucking drain.

FUCK
Recourse? I doubt it. Tried VPN from Finland etc and didn't work, just as someone above mentioned it wouldn't due to new controls by Apple.I did back up Strelok's data to the iCloud…not that it seems to matter anymore. Years of work down the fucking drain.
STOP THE PRESSES
Ok, so I managed to figure this out! Disaster averted. I haven't seen anyone post this before, but maybe someone has.First of all, I hadn’t initially deleted the app when the download from the App Store failed. DO NOT DELETE THE APP. KEEP THE APP.
I then followed the instructions from this video:
I discovered the strelok app was still on the phone, but Apple wasn't letting it be activated by the Apple Store. Following the video's instructions and pretending I hadn't restored the phone, by using iMazing I managed to d/l the app from my phone to my mac and reupload/install it back on the same phone!!!!
How stupid is that?
I can also import my saved strelok data from the iCloud.
The universe has smiled upon me, my friends.
P.S. I was on a vpn to Finland at the time, but I don't think that mattered. Full disclosure might help a future fool, though.

I used the Huawei app store and a VPN. No issues.
If AB worked half as well I wouldn't bother. As it is, AB is really driving customers away with their latest update. "If you own it you can keep it". Yeah, I spent over $100 buying cdms and now I constantly find them missing, and the user interface somehow got worse.
Strelok is half the reason I hope Russia takes all of The Ukraine
Petty shit just to fuck with US gun owners.
