If you need download links for older versions, you must save them yourself, as the API does not provide historical versions. |

Is it possible to grab download links for previous versions of an app?
I currently have a project which is a Minecraft Launcher specifically for the Bedrock Edition. We have been using the same API that https://store.rg-adguard.net/ uses to fetch the latest download links. Using this method, we are able to retrieve download links for previous versions of the app as well. The UUIDs of past versions are stored here.
As of Sept 9, 2025, Mojang announced that they're switching from UWP to GDK which means that the API above no longer returns download links for the game. Researching the web is how I came across this repo and it works for the GDK version. However, I have merely just scratched the surface of this repo by compiling it myself and adding TraceLines to see what methods are being called. I cannot seem to find whether the API returns a uuid that can reliably be called for a specific version in the past(in this case, for Sept 9, 2025) since it seems to only grab the latest.
