While Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows Phone 8.1 more than six months ago, there are some users that still utilize the platform as their daily driver. Although the company's overall mobile initiative isn't faring too well either, most users on older platforms are still there because they prefer it over the competition or weren't offered an upgrade path to Windows 10 Mobile.
However, it now appears that Windows Phone 8.1 users are facing some unforeseen problems with the Store - and no, it isn't regarding the dearth of apps. According to reports, people on the platform have been unable to download apps from the Store since yesterday.

It is important to note that this issue is not present on Windows 10 Mobile, which has lead many people to (wrongly) assume that Microsoft has ceased support for Store on Windows Phone 8.1.

While Microsoft hasn't officially commented on the issue, some users have discovered that setting the date to December 3, 2017 inexplicably cures the problem, but that also means that you'll have to revert to an incorrect system date every time you decide to download an app - until this problem is fixed, that is.
