Project Makeover on iPad mini 2
iPad mini 2 · 2013 · A7 · Max iOS 12 | Project Makeover requires iOS 13+
Project Makeover doesn't install from search on iPad mini 2 (iOS 12), but the last compatible version is available via the Purchased Apps trick — see Method 1 below.
Method 1: Install the Last Compatible Version
Apple's App Store has a hidden feature: if you've ever downloaded an app on any device with the same Apple ID, you can install the last version that supported your iOS.
- On a current iOS 16+ device (friend's phone, family iPad), download Project Makeover using the same Apple ID.
- On your iPad mini 2, open the App Store → tap your profile picture → Purchased.
- Search for Project Makeover. Tap the cloud icon.
- iOS asks: "This app requires iOS 13. Download last compatible version?" — tap Download.
✅ This works for most major apps as long as you've previously installed them with this Apple ID. The older version connects to the same servers — your account and content remain accessible.
Method 2: Use Project Makeover via Safari (PWA)
Many apps have a full web version accessible via Safari. Open Safari on your iPad mini 2, go to the app's website, sign in, then tap Share → Add to Home Screen. This gives you a home screen icon that opens the web app in full-screen mode — no download required.
