Hi, I backed up my iPhone 7 plus a month ago via iTunes. After completely wiping all the data on it, I tried restoring it. Everything worked perfectly, until I noticed one app was missing - an app for offline music streaming. I know it's against the App Store policy so that's probably why it's not available there anymore, but why is it not restoring from my backup since I had it downloaded? (since you can download anything from your purchase history, even if it has since been removed from the App Store)
Furthermore, I tried restoring from the same backup once again. As soon as I got into the home screen, I could see the app (it's icon and name), but it was greyed out, like it was about to download. Then a notification asked me for my apple id password. As soon as I entered it, the app disappeared.
Please help, I really value this app and would like to find a way to restore it. Thank you.
P.S. It's important to note that the said app is NOT in my purchased list in the app store. I don't know why, as I'm sure I downloaded it with this Apple ID.
