Apple would be interested in studying a method by which we could "donate" our applications, books, music ... bought in the store to give them to the person we want through a new DRMIn other words, when it was transferred to other hands, we would cease to be the owners of the content to transfer it to the new user with their credentials without them having to pay anything. It would automatically be signed again so that the new user would remain as the legitimate owner, withdrawing the rights of the previous one.
Right now if we try to transfer one of our purchases to another device with an Apple ID different from ours, the DRM system will identify that it is not the "original" account for which it was purchased, and it will not synchronize or simply will not allow it to be installed. Maybe Apple is researching new modelsIt's businesses that encourage the regular buyer of free apps to try paid software and get a positive reaction from them to keep buying more.
Many times we see how we have bought an application that has become obsolete in a short time or that the developer directly stops supporting it to induce us to buy the most recent version, see the case of Tapatalk for iOS. This is precisely what apple wants to change, that when we are going to stop using an application or it stays obsolete, we can transfer it to a third party No cost for this and so at least use it and take advantage of the money invested.
The patents for this system were presented in 2011 and 2012 respectively, specifying that the new owner's data will be reflected in the entity database that sold the content over those of the previous one. This is done so that the new owner appears as if he had always been the original and that there are no problems in the future.
It's not that the App Store malfunctions rather I personally think this should have been the case from the beginning, and apple should have allowed the seamless transfer of content between users precisely to further encourage the experience.

To clarify that it is not the device, as you say, if not the account, you can perfectly transfer the application to another device you just have to log in with the account that you have bought the app and download it… if not when buying a new apple device you would lose all your purchases. hehehehe. An example, my sister and my brother-in-law have an iPhone, they use Sygic perfectly, which I bought with my account ... only when updating they have to put my password. Greetings.
I was referring to another device with a different account than the original one, since it would not let you synchronize that specific application without your consent (or password), with 5 devices with the same account being the limit. But effectively this can lead to misunderstanding, which is why it is already nuanced. Thanks for the warning.
