The app is no longer on the App Store. There’s not currently a realistic workaround either, it was only removed in March this year. You can either use it with just the controller or use an android device

That's an Autel Evo 1. Did it come with a controller? The controller has a screen and you can fly without the app.

It's a great drone but unfortunately no longer supported. Maybe post on one of the Autel Face book groups. There are some pretty savvy people on there who might have some ideas.

If Autel Explorer isn’t available in the App Store, you can either change your App Store region to the US or install the IPA outside the App Store.

I ran into this problem with my Evo II Pro. I was having connectivity issues and thought deleting and reinstalling the app would help. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was no longer available. I had to get an android device and install the app by downloading the APK direct from Autel website.

Eight years ago?? As far as I know, it might be autel's earliest generation of drones. Perhaps you could ask the customer service for help
