This is an astoundingly huge difference between Android & iOS for Steve.
Why can't iOS do something as simple as extract any existing installed
app IPA (even for default system apps!) to re-use on any other iOS device?
*Android does that* (all by its itty bitty self no less)
Why can't iOS do something as simple as auto-save the IPA in its entirety,
to re-use on _any_ iOS device on the planet? (if it's a free app anyway)
*Android does that* (all by its itty bitty self no less)
Why can't iOS do anything _that_ elegantly powerfully useful with IPAs?
*Even with iTunes, iOS can't do anything even _close_ to that*
Assessment:
The IPA management for iOS devices is mired in the Paleolithic Stone Age.
NOTE: Assume, for example, you want an app or version that no longer
exists on the app store (which happens all the time).
With Android, you always have the backup automatically, and even
if you deleted it, you can instantly _extract_ the APK at any time.
