Amazon just announced their Appstore will be closing. My Candy Crush game was download from the Amazon Appstore, and I have lots of booster on my device! After the Appstore closes, how will I get Candy Crush updates? And what happens to all my boosters on that device? How can I keep playing???

Hello @MonroeH the closure of the Amazon app store doesn't occur until August, so you have a bit of time to prepare.
Also if you use an Amazon device the app store will still work as the closure only affects non-Amazon devices.
As long as you are saving your game using a password and email address then you can just download the app from Google play store.
Your boosters are stored on your device, but I don't know if you download the same app onto your app if it will 'find' your existing boosters.
If you play on Android your current app will still work, but you won't receive any updates, so you could use that app until you exhaust all of your boosters and then download a new app

This applies to windows but might apply to other platforms. I found out recently that if you save your game your boosters are now stored on the servers I guess. I was able to delete the game and game data, reinstall, play some test game and when I actually signed back into my account, after the first level played, can't remember if I closed the game but I likely did, the next level I had all my boosters from the account back.
I think only lives are still locally stored.

I don't think boosters are saved on servers. They are stored on our phones and on our tablets. Anyone playing the same account on two devices will have different inventories with different boosters on each of the two or three devices. If boosters were served on the server they would be the same on all devices of the same account.
I have in the past logged out of my game and logged back in on the same device and found my boosters present, that I do remember. But I assume that is because I logged back in on the same iPad.
