   Irrelevant, since you can not backup and transfer app installer files   
   anyway.   
      
   >    Choice B. You're fucked on iOS, but you're fine on Android.   
      
   No, since Android does not allow that either when using Google Play.   
      
   >    Choice C. You're fucked on iOS, but you're fine on Windows.   
      
   No, since Windows does not allow that either when using Microsoft Store.   
      
   Please do not confuse manual hacks with official ways how to install "Apps".

   All three are wrong or irrelevant.
