Apple's Special Version of iTunes That Still Has an App Store Currently Incompatible With macOS Mojave
- Thread starter MacRumors

Not working with iPhone 6s. Probably it does the iOS 12 but nothing related to iOS 13 😟
Plus, after updating it using Configurator, I cannot update any apps even using iMazing 😖

Some "good news", Apple managed to break App Store in Mojave, maybe they will fix iTunes by mistake in the processCode:http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/52/53/001-05974-A_IZY89AAHPZ/4h6g5p8myvkxiyr2a3ei2lwyetrfxhpuqb/CoreTypes.pkg http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/52/53/001-05974-A_IZY89AAHPZ/4h6g5p8myvkxiyr2a3ei2lwyetrfxhpuqb/MobileDeviceSU2.pkg

Maybe the MobiledeviceSU2 will help one person in my family who got the new iPhone SE2 and in high sierra cannot use iTunes anymore.
Thanks for the links: in CoreTypes info (opened with Pacifist) I can see the list of all devices included the new ones

The update is not responsible for the App Store problems, I've tested App Store downloads before updating.
Definitely, it is astonishing how the richest company on Earth keeps employing incompetents.
Just wrote to the "incompetents" , please everyone should
Btw there is another thread on Apple Forums and there are people using Catalina not being able to download anything there too
Reported feedbacks for MacOs, https://www.apple.com/feedback/macos.html
Apple configurator https://www.apple.com/feedback/configurator.html
iTunes https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
They fix it : only App store and Configurator , not iTunes though
So I guess we are hopeless on that one

Something happened to iTunes though , or maybe it's only my computer?
iTunes when I drop on my updated apps from Configurator, instead of putting the old ones in the trash, is replacing them immediately
Now I need to check which updates I need to backup , in case, then drop the new ones 😣

If you want to use Apple Configurator, wouldn’t be easier to create a service to copy the ipa files from its folder to iTunes’s Automatically Add to iTunes folder? Then just start iTunes and you will be asked if you want to replace the apps with the updated versions, the originals would be moved to Trash.
Apple's mess gets messier: Apple Reissuing Numerous iOS App Updates, Potentially Related to Recent 'This App is No Longer Shared' Bug https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/25/apple-reissuing-ios-app-updates/
This is what is not working anymore: before it was moving the old apps to the trash, now it doesn’t.
plus many apps shows they have not been updated but they are. Probably is the same issue reported by many others and from yourself too. I could create a service , but I prefer to drop the updates and see what is going on. Apple must have hired some 3rd class developers and not paying them well....😡
For me, it's working in Catalina with SIP disabled, not working in Mojave with SIP enabled. I don't know if SIP makes the difference.
Update: after my ssd failed , sic, I had to restart over with a new one and reinstalled everything
iTunes too. I installed Mojave combo 10.14.6 downloaded long time ago. The only update I was "offered"
by Apple was the infamous Security Update 2020-003 😠, that naively I did
But I remember there were more than 1 update after installing the combo.
I didn't do any and for whatever reason now iTunes behaves normally, when I drop on it the apps downloaded from Configurator it put the older in the trash. SIP enabled
Grr..! They must have sc&$@wed it again! 😣
SIP disabled : even worse, 1 app only

Does somebody have a High Sierra compatible Apple Configurator to share? I can't download it from MAS and can't find somewhere else.
Unfortunately Retroactive only shows iTunes as an installation option under Catalina.
Sorry, I was under the impression that it works in Mojave too.
Retroactive credits these guides for installing iTunes 11 https://osxdaily.com/2014/10/26/downgrades-itunes-12/
and iTunes 10 https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-to-safely-re-install-itunes-10-7-in-mavericks.1667115/
Workaround to download apps updates using Windows iTunes 12.6.5.3 is not working today and giving error "You don't have enough access privileges for this operation". Anyone else getting same error mesg?
iTunes ipa downloads/updates are working now in Windows, it was probably a temporary problem related to iCloud Down for Many Users, Causing 'The Application You Have Selected Does Not Exist' Error [Update: Fixed]
What would a day be without an Apple issue?
