Can’t re-download app without paying for it again

I bought a game on the App Store several years ago, as well as several in-app purchases. I am now unable to re-download it, I have to pay to download it again. Is there anyway to restore my purchase?

Yes, you should be able to download any previous purchases for free from your Purchase history listing.

click here ➜ Redownload apps from Apple - Apple Support

Once downloaded, you can restore in-app purchases from within the App.

click here ➜ If you can't find or use your Apple In-App Purchases - Apple Support
