Michal Marek Some iOS device users are facing a small but rather annoying problem while downloading apps or updating them. Sometimes after entering the password, a notification may appear saying that the application (or update) cannot be downloaded at this time. The user should try again later. Basically, it doesn't have to be anything serious. After clicking OK, the download starts without any problems, but sometimes a hard reset helps. The mere presence of this notification can be frustrating for some.
Fortunately, a solution has appeared on foreign forums that will eliminate this problem. The mentioned fix is very simple and does not require a jailbreak or any major interventions in the system. So let's take a look at the procedure itself.
- Visit first this website and download the app iExplorer. This program is free for both Mac and Windows and allows you to work with the contents of iOS devices in the classic directory way that we know from our computers. Thanks to it, the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch can be treated as if it were a flash drive with ordinary folders.
- Make sure your iOS device is not connected or turned on iTunes. Now run iExplorer and only then connect your iOS device.
- Your phone or tablet should be automatically recognized by the application and then its contents should appear sorted into folders (see image below).
- Top left, in the directory Media, you should see the folder Downloads (the list is sorted alphabetically). Open the folder and its contents will be displayed in the right half of the application window. In the case of the Mac version, the only difference is that the window is not split and the folder must be opened normally. If you have a jailbroken device, the path to the desired folder is as follows: /var/mobile/Media/Downloads.
- Get to the bottom of the list of files in the folder Downloads and find the file that contains the word "sqlitedb". For the author of this manual, the file is called downloads.28.sqlitedb, but the exact name is individual. For example, rename this file to downloads.28.sqlitedbold and your fix is done. Technically speaking, classic deletion of the file shouldn't be a problem either, but renaming it is enough.
- Then close iExplorer and shutdown and restart on your device App Store. If you open again iExplorer, you will find that the contents of the folder Downloads was automatically rebuilt and the original file was added to the file you renamed downloads.28.sqlitedb.
The problem is now fixed and the error messages should no longer appear. The procedure is tried and tested, and according to numerous satisfied comments under the original instructions, users have not yet encountered any problem that this solution could bring. Hopefully the guide will help you too. Feel free to share your experiences in the comments below the article.

I don't want that - too much work :) It just has to work...
A recent iOS update was supposed to remove it. It was actually removed for me personally. I don't know what the experiences of other users are.
The update also fixed it for me
I agree, I haven't seen it in a while :)
Well, I would really like to know what is behind the error. It's nice that the error can be corrected in this way, but who knows what else will be eliminated or deleted with this intervention.
