where are the apps on the SD card store ??

I've reset my Lumia because i had some problems with my Microsoft Mail
Before resetting it i moved all of my apps to my SD card
after resetting i tried to get my apps back from the SD card but the mobile tells me that the apps on the SD card where installed from another Lumia and must be erased

How could i get my apps back without downloading them again
or
where are the apps on the SD card stored to get them then install them again

THANKS FOR READING MY QUESTION

Yeah! It act as a safe gate.
To prevent your phone.
Or in other words from viruses or hacking.
That's y it ignores the SD card app.
To overcome any possible harmful data.
It's a great feature but yes your situation is understandable..
But it has no solution other than letting those app erase and reinstallation of all those from store.

Download all apps now manually and save them on ur sd card and install them....only way to get ur apps back when u reset ur phone again in future👌

If this works, this is a great idea! It would allow you to reinstall an app that is no longer in the store (if you had downloaded it manually and saved it to your microSD card).

If you changed your Microsoft Account info when you ran new setup, you gave up ownership of all those Apps. They belong to the old Microsoft Account.
