Apps “mysteriously” uninstalled
Fired up the AUM and went to add an auv3 fx plugin and noticed more than half were missing. When I went to the Home Screen either they were gone or needed to be re downloaded. Saw the other post where Aphelian is no longer in the store. I was using AUM last night and ever was there. No updates to iOS recently. Not just music apps.
Anyone else have this happen recently?

This has never happened to me, personally, but there is a setting that would allow iOS to auto-remove "unused" apps. Might be worth checking to see if you have that enabled?
Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage -> "Offload Unused Apps"
Cool. Thanks. I check another iPad and Aphelian is still there. Turned off WiFi and I’ll try your tip.
Just to sure it’s clear, you want that feature off. It sounds as though you may have accidentally turned it on. Be sure it’s off on all your devices.
If you lost Apps, you can get them back with iMazing, even the trial version - from a backup or even another device, if I recall correctly.
Did that for iThoughts on a new iPad.
Maybe there is a problem with that feature and AUv3, as you normally don't start the App ever again after the first time - maybe their use within a host does not trigger this kind of usage that the feature is checking?
That "Offload Unused Apps" should only act when the device is low on free storage, and needs space for some new files. That might happen for a system update, which needs 10-15 GB to collect the system files, then build a new system image. (In fact, I believe a system update will boot stuff out of the way, regardless of that setting, and will attempt to restore them after.)
"should" as in "it would be better if..."?
Because I fear that it just offloads everything that you did not open for 12 days, according to this:

I could not find more concrete information.
Would never ever enable this useless feature.
Ineresting. There are two "Offload Unused Apps" settings. The one that you link in AppStore, and the one I looked at in iPad Storage. Only the iPad Storage one suggests that it acts when storage is low. Hard to know if they're the same or not.
I definitely agree that this setting is not suitable for music app users.
That is confusing about the 2 settings.
I do have it enabled on my phone and don’t mind having to redownload apps every now and then. However, it’d be good if you could stop certain apps from ever being offloaded. I reckon they might add that as some point.
Feels like something that happened with a recent iOS update. Unrelated, my Touch ID on my Mac mini got janky and had to redo that.
I think it’s Apple but have no proof.
Why I’ve moved away from iOS as the primary way to make music.
