The good news is that the team behind Crystal Chronicles has acknowledged these issues and prepared a solution. However, the bad news is that this solution involves shutting down support for the iOS version of Crystal Chronicles Remastered. They have also provided information on how to claim refunds for content purchased after January 2024.
Originally launched on the Nintendo GameCube with its innovative, yet complex, multiplayer feature that used GameBoy Advances as controllers, Crystal Chronicles was revitalized with its mobile release. Unfortunately, recent problems with accessing paid content have led to the decision to discontinue the game on iOS devices.

Although it may be small consolation, this ensures that you won't be financially impacted, even if you can't enjoy Crystal Chronicles Remastered on iOS for the time being.
