How can the backup and recovery function correctly back up and restore applications? I find that the backup file is indeed the content of the application, but the application does not appear on the phone after recovery

In general, questions such as this should be published in the discussions section.

Regarding your question, that's correct - Apple do not provide any API to download the applications binary - only data. The application binaries can only be downloaded from AppStore.
