Just updated to iOS 17.0.2 set up new iPhone 15Pro now list of Apps available for updates is MIA

When I open the App Store and click on my Avatar (upper right of screen) the list of apps available to update is missing. Please don’t suggest: 1) I signed in with the wrong Apple ID, 2) restart the iPhone, 3) set the system date forward and then back to auto, 4) sign out then back into the App Store. 5) pull down on the list to refresh it. I’ve tried all those.


I checked the versions of several apps that are ready to update on my iPhone 14Pro from which I transferred data. Sure enough, when the new iPhone 15Pro was set up and data transferred (directly not from an iCloud backup) the latest updates were downloaded. So the question is… will the apps keep updating even though the list of available updates is not visible? I plan to check back against the iPhone 14Pro where I can see the list, and keep track of updates.


I’m considering doing a restore on the iPhone 15Pro then transferring all the data and apps from the iPhone 14Pro again. But that’s the definition of insanity (doing the same thing again hoping for a different result). I could transfer from the iCloud backup instead of directly from the iPhone 14Pro.


Any suggestions?

Issue Resolved… I continued to monitor the ‘old’ iPhone 14Pro for ‘available updates’. A few hours later one app showed an available update. I then went back to the iPhone 15Pro and checked, sure enough, that same app had now shown up as available.


So this was ‘user error’ on my part. The MIA list was not MIA it was just empty, and when an app showed up as available, it was inserted and the list was now visible.


Case closed, at least for me.
