Just followed the link to the download page, and it looks like iTunes 12.6 for Mac is dead. Apple updated the page to remove the Mac download, and it now only has the Windows version...
Ominous

Even the server app is not compatible with Mojave.
I was just going to install it too, bit upgraded to Mojavr already. Downloading all the apps with every restore/new phone really sucks when you have slow internet speeds
it's not only that the 12.6.3.5 version dose not work with Mojave you won't get it to connect to a new phone Xs ether as even the current version requires a further system download in order to connect to any iPhone Xs or Xs Max. it leave me thinking that Apple is lost the trust of small businesses like mine.

How about apple make a special version of iTunes which only contains music?
Nothing else, note even the connect thingy or other “social media” features, just music.
One can dream
Shows how little Apple cares about MacOS Server now. It's appalling.
This is the special edition of iTunes that still has the App Store built-in.
At $4.99/month? Yet another subscription based app. Ugh, no thank you.Get Vox (version 2.8.26). You'll thank me later.
Good thing I haven't updated to Mojave yet. Hopefully Apple patches iTunes to make it compatible.
Of course I checked first. This is the latest version available to the public, 5.6.3.https://www.apple.com/macos/server/specs/,
says it is compatible, not checking first is appalling. If however, you actually have an issue with the compatible version, then not saying so is appalling.
Please read the article one more time.What does this even mean? iTunes works fine, version 12.9..... downloads with Mojave. I have no idea what all this 12.6 jibber jabber is, seems like out of date version. Maybe someone could just state clearly?
Internet speed has nothing to do with it. How is it easier to download the same app 5x (1x for each device) rather than downloading it a single time on your computer and syncing your devices? The answer: it's not.
And Apple just flat out refused to fix some of the issues with this version of iTunes (which is far superior with the AppStore). For example, reset plays for multiple songs at the same time.
It has turned into a tedious process that takes hours to do now.
Thats why I specified the version......At $4.99/month? Yet another subscription based app. Ugh, no thank you.

THIS. I don't care how fast my connection is, why should I have to manually download the app onto every single device in my house? Downloading it once on my MBP and then syncing all necessary devices is so much easier.

Looks like I'll hold off on installing Mojave for a few weeks in hopes they do release an updated version of iTunes that retains the app store.
MacOs Server says it is compatible with Mojave:

Can you elaborate?

That is expected and confirmed by Apple itself.
Same as there is no Single User Mode!
Single User Mode still exists and works in Mojave.Same as there is no Single User Mode!

Why can't just Apple release a single app on Mac that does all the interaction with iOS devices (local backups, app management) and an entertainment-only iTunes?
Yes, Apple could see that iTunes was heading to the 'bloatware' direction and thus deciding abandoning the iOS app management function on iTunes, which was somehow a great move. BUT when you terminate a function or a service, please at least give your customers an alternate solution.
For mere mortals, it might be OK just to use the iOS devices to manage the iOS apps. But for pro users or for those who want to load the apps that aren't available on the iOS App Store from Mac to iOS devices, what can they do now? Either use this 'special version of iTunes' or rely on third-party apps. Now that this special version of iTunes is not working with the latest version of macOS, then third-party apps are the only way to go. Third-party apps like iMazing are doing a great job here, but I think all these should be done by Apple, and it's on their part.
In addition, I think there should be an option for users to choose the direction where the content will be moved. I hardly use iTunes with iPhone / iPad for the simple reason that I'm afraid I might lose all the things on my iPhone because of wrong syncing settings (e.g. syncing to a category on iTunes that's empty on Mac)
Boy, I followed that link earlier today and did manage to still download iTunes 12.6.5. Now it's gone. Apple must have read this article and pulled 12.6.5.Just followed the link to the download page, and it looks like iTunes 12.6 for Mac is dead.

As long as the downloading happens automatically in the background while the devices are charging, it makes no difference at all. I still use the special iTunes version because:T

Even if macOS Server can install on Mojave (and if it isn't, I am sure the compatible version will be released soon), Apple published an article stating that many of the services is being removed.Of course I checked first. This is the latest version available to the public, 5.6.3.

Clicking the "Open App Store" button just goes to the same listing for 5.6.3.
Anyway, to your point, as far as app downloading, there's an option in iCloud to just have any iOS app you download get automatically put on all your devices at the same time. I had it switched on by accident, and any time I put a new app on my Apple TV, I'd find a version of it had automatically appeared on my iPhone.
Easy it is still way to bloated. something like a dedicated app as you have on iOS would be nice.I'm not sure how anyone could complain about the way iTunes is laid out now.
