Apple Releases iTunes 12.6.3 With App Store

Posted October 9, 2017 at 3:33pm by iClarified
Apple has released iTunes 12.6.3 for those who need an App Store.

With the release of iTunes 12.7, Apple removed the built-in App Store; however, it has released iTunes 12.6.3 for those who still require the functionality.

Apple offers Volume Purchase Programs and Apple Configurator on Mac to help enterprise environments manage and mass-deploy apps on iOS devices. But certain business partners might still need to use iTunes to install apps. If you've already installed a newer version of iTunes, you can download this version of iTunes on your Mac, PC 32-bit or PC 64-bit and run the installer. After installation is complete, you can continue to deploy apps with iTunes.


You won’t be prompted to download new versions of iTunes after you install this version.

What a bizarre move. How long will they maintain two versions of iTunes? I expect the next version to re-introduce App Store in a deactivated way.

No it doesn't; just click the link on the official site link where it says, "If you've already installed a newer version of iTunes, you can download this version of iTunes on your Mac, PC 32-bit or PC 64-bit* and run the installer. After installation is complete, you can continue to deploy apps with iTunes." and it will work from there.

One more thing: this 'extraofficial' iTunes version supports the iPhone 8, iPhone X and iOS 11.

It's not so easy to do it coming from v. 12.7. You can install this version of iTunes 12.6.3 but can't be done straight from v. 12.7. You have to downgrade from 12.7 to 12.6 first and then install 12.6.3. Instructions on how to 'downgrade iTunes' are available on the official support site but take heed, it requires Terminal and sudo command line to delete the iTunes app, then replacing the iTunes Library.itl file from a previous version. Other wise iTunes will crash until above said measures have been taken.
