Resolving temporarily as Awaiting Response. Is this still an issue in the latest version (1.17.2)?

Alexandre Briani Kieling 2021-07-02T13:16:59Z

Yes, it's still an issue with version 1.17.2. After hitting the Update button, a pop-up appears saying "Do you want to download the last compatible version?". Once I hit the Download button, the pop-up disappears for a second and appears again with the same message. It stays in an endless loop and doesn't download the update.

Unistalling the older version before applying the 1.17.2 upgrade works as a workaround.

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.

The report you have submitted is working as intended: 32-bit iOS devices are not compatible with newer versions of Minecraft.

Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.
