Over the weekend, an error occurred that was related to family sharing. Some apps could no longer be opened and, after crashing, required a new installation to continue using them.
Originally the error discovered on WhatsApp and Facebook. When I tried to open the apps, it crashed. This was followed by the message "This app is no longer shared with you". Users without family sharing were also affected. Just a few hours later, applications such as Amazon, YouTube, Tik Tok and Co. followed suit. Basically, all apps that had previously been updated were affected.
"The error has been fixed"
At this point, there were only two solutions: deleting and reinstalling the respective app or removing the affected application via the iOS settings. As a result, hundreds of app updates were documented in the App Store yesterday. Some users counted over 100 pending updates. It was suspected that an expired certificate was responsible for this. Now, at the request of TechCrunch on the subject. According to the report, the problem "This app is no longer shared with you" has now been resolved. However, Apple did not say what actually caused the error. The suspicion remains that a certificate has expired because it was not renewed on time. (Photo by bigtunaonline / Bigstockphoto)
