With the launch of iTunes version 12.7, Apple removed the app management feature to put more emphasis on music, TV shows, and podcasts. Knowing how popular app management via the media library is, the tech giant has released iTunes 12.6.3 as an alternative version. Hence, you can get back the App Store into iTunes to sync apps or ringtones to your iOS device as before.
iTunes 12.6.3 also supports iOS 11, iPhone 8/8 Plus and iPhone X. Once this version is installed, you won’t get any future updates for it. Besides, Apple won’t provide any technical support for it. What if you have already updated to 12.7 version? No problem, you can still install 12.6.3 version on your Mac or Windows PC.
