that is not the issue here. What you have shown misses the main point of the root cause of the issue which is that binary load now only supports load from .qvf and .qvw files only.
So the whole recent change is that by default apps are stored as QVF files but without actual .qvf extension in shared path\Apps folder which in the past was still allowed to be binary loaded and now isn't unless you include the EnableQvfPathValidation=0 in the settings.ini.

@Lech_Miszkiewicz Fair enough - the original post described the issue as being unable to access apps via ID, to which I replied with the documentation quote that this is not supported (and suggested the syntax spelled out by the documentation as an alternative). Seems like what you're describing should probably be part of the documentation, but I have no idea who at Qlik I should tag for that...
No worries @Or . You may want to go through the comments we put here and links to other posts as they explain all the binary issues and reasons.
In Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows you would have folder connection pointing to your \\server\share\apps location in which you would have files with names the same as app ID’s. Thats whats this post refers to.
So then in your Qlik sense script you would have statement like:
Lib://AppsFolder/5dhdjdh-6389-4653gh-dkyy
note that 5dhdjdh-6389-4653gh-dkyy does not have .qvf extensions as those files are not having extensions.
With that change Qlik prevents load from files without extension (unless you do .ini change) making it actually difficult to use binary load statement. Documentation is ok as Qlik is not really recommending binary load directly from the apps. Instead Qliks suggestion is to copy app files using 3rd party tools or even just windows command and during that process adding .qvf extensions to them to then allow for binary load from copied files with extension. To me it is not viable solution so we go with change to settings file.
hope that clarifies it.
i dont think we need to tag anyone at qlik. This topic is covered by support guys in the link i provided in other comments
