I mostly used the Street View app to capture 360° spherical panoramas, offline, on-device.

Now that Google has killed the app, I can’t capture those photos! The app worked fine a month ago, why not let me use it, as it worked offline‽

No one seems to be talking about this issue.

I haven’t found suitable replacement apps to capture photospheres on a (i)Phone. The suggested Street View Studio doesn’t let you capture Photo Spheres!

Laughs/cries in Picasa

On Android, you may be able to use e.g. Google Camera or F-Droid's Focal.
Anything for iOS?

This is kind of your answer right? It’s not the issue to others that it is to you. If Google sunsetted Search, for example, I think people would talk about that issue.

Try GCam. It's not officially supported by Google outside of Pixel devices, but people have tried porting it for other phones. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
