I'm advocating for me, and users like me, not for the interests of a greedy corporation. I just want the things that I paid for to continue working. I don't want to re-buy things just so Apple can line their own pockets. I don't want to chase developers to provide updates, or if they have gone out of business, be stuck. I use technology as a tool to get stuff done. I don't need Apple to come and disable my investment in software.

If you bought the apps they will still be available to download… You can use them at least for another 2 years with a ios16 device and probably later on. You just can’t buy them anymore if you really need spacebar heating it’s on you.

As per Apple's support, you can't.
