What??????? Does that mean I won't be able to save .IPA copies of any app?
If that's the case I will never update to this version and will use the last one that is still making that possible FOREVER. As I explained here:

There is no other way (not that I am aware of) to download copies of free/paid apps and make sure they aren't gone once they are removed from the Apple-Store.
After storing the .IPA files I only need to upload them using iTunes, and they will be available again in any of my devices. The internet isn't required for this.
If there's no way to save the .IPA then I can only restore apps that are currently available in the Apple-Store.
If this is the case here then only a fool would update iTunes now.
I don't want to lose any good app once the nazis from Apple or some corrupt company like Google decide it shouldn't be there.
No one should applaud these sorts of changes because it can only enslave the customers more and more, and in my case this is another reason to never purchase anything from Apple. They want to make sure no one can create a backup of what really matters.
Can someone explain how is that any different from this?
