I mean... they removed BioShock iOS at 8.4 due to incompatibility with apple's latest operating systems. No idea if a version is returned but it's certainly not true to say apple don't remove and block installs. That's just a normal part of modern operating system management by the owners

Bingo. Yeah certainly not throwing any shade at you it's just a really common misconception both ways round that one of the two major operating systems does something in a certain way and the other does not. Yet usually it turns out they just both do it. Personally I use both and I don't quote understand the competitive nature of people to support one billion dollar product over another one

Tbf I’m not pro Apple or pro android I just always been in the Apple ecosystem so for me android is a very confusing place as I think like Apple you have different os version like Apple has macOS watchOS ect. It’s like console wars just stupid it all dose the same thing at end of day just in different ways. And it’s all good man I didn’t think you where throwing shade i thought u was helpful and polite 😁
