HI, I am an iOS developer working in finance sector. I just wanted to clarify the following thing once the user deleted the App Store app in the EU region.
- Impact on Already Installed Apps After Deleting the App Store App
If a user deletes the App Store app in iOS 18.2, will already installed apps remain functional? How does the OS manage app updates for these installed apps? Are updates delivered automatically via the system's update mechanism, even when the App Store app is uninstalled?
- Accessing the App Store Through Safari
Can users still browse the App Store via Safari in iOS 18.2? Will this access allow users to manually download updates for their installed apps if the App Store app is not installed?
Please help to understand how this is handled.
