Old iPads and new Apps

Hi Guys
Is there a way to revert apps back to an older version? We have some old iPads and as the apps have all updated they are no longer working with the old iOs. Do you know if there is a way to "push - out" older/pervious versions of the apps. Cheers

Not easily. If you have used Apple Configurator in the past, the apps are stored on the computer that you connect the iPads to. If you are using a caching server, you may be able to find the apps there as well.
You may have some problems loading them and assigning them in Jamf Pro.

Technically App Store and MDM installed apps should install the last version that was compatible with your device. I think it varies from app to app though and isn't consistent across the board.

I was just wondering the same thing. I’ve been tapping my foot for a minute waiting on a vintage Xserve that’s lived to see the jump to el cap.

I tried creating a separate entry and typed in the version by hand.
