It's not clear if this is a temporary problem or a permananent one. One reason why having apps only downloadable from one source is a problem for those of us still using perfectly working older devices - it's just another part of enforced obsolescence by tech companies.  :-(
      Apple breaks the Mac App Store for macOS Sierra users
