Cannot update blackberry app world. It shows some weird error.

Here is the story. I was using os7 and and 2 days back I upgraded it to 7.1. As usual after upgrading the os, I updated pre installed apps. Like Facebook and bbm and did a re start. After re staring I found that there is no Facebook and bbm icon. I went to app world and searched for it. At the bbm screen there was no button, no re install, delete or anything. On facebook page there was a re install button through which I re installed it and again did a re boot. But again the same thing. So I though of re installing the firmware. I wiped the device via bbsak and installed the firmware via loader.exe (later I also tried with blackberry desktop manager). Now after upgrading when I went to update my app world, it re directed me to browser where I clicked download and then an error came up. I have attached a pic. Now I am unable to upgrade my blackberry app world. I tried several things like removing app world and again trying to Download it from browser, re installing firmware, downgrading and then again upgrading to 7.1 but all in vain. Please help, as I don't have any clue what's wrong and what to do. 
P. S: It's my first blackberry, and I bought it unlocked 5 days back. And I don't use BIS. I tried downloading app world via WiFi and via mobile data. 
 
Here is the error shown 
 
Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor. 
 
The "MIDlet-Name" attribute is missing

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
Please try this sequence:
1) Remove both AppWorld AND the Identity App from your BB
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld (during which a fresh version of the Identity App should also install)

Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.
Cheers!

Since updating blackberry app world facebook app wont work

since i updated my blackberry app world my facebook app wont work? any ideas why?

Since updating AppWorld has nothing to do with the Facebook app there is no way to know why your Facebook app won't work. Did you update anything else after updating Appworld? Do you have a BB data plan on your account? This isn't always necessary any more but either wifi or some type of data plan is required for the apps to work..

Cannot Use Blackberry App World / Icon disappeared

I have lost App World. I was prompted to update to a newer version, which I did (repeatedly!), and now it's gone and the icon is nowhere to be found. I can find it listed under Applications but cannot use it. I've tried all the tricks -- pull the battery, delete it and download it again, etc. I've spent all day and it still doesn't work. I've really about had it!

Hi Trecex 13,
Welcome to the Community,
If you looking for the latest version of App World Download it from here http://blackberry.com/appworld
But before that if you had installed any previous version then uninstall it this way :
Options > Device > Application Management.
Scroll to BlackBerry AppWorld > Delete.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a min, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Good Luck
Prince

Cannot download blackberry app world apps - "enable cookies" error message keeps coming

Hi,
I have a Curve 3920, running v7.1.0 OS.
Back in July I kept getting low memory messages and it kept getting stuck so I had to un-install apps such as Linkedin or What's App. Then I realized I only had 2GB memory so upgraded to a 16GB one.
Now the blackberry works ok but it is impossible to re-install Linkedin or World Apps app or any other from Blackberry World interface, it keeps coming coming up with ""BlackBerry ID Services. We detect that cookies have been disabled in your browser. Please enable cookies in order to continue." error message, even though I have correct set-up in the device browser option set-up menu.
However I successfully managed to download What's App, but not from app world page.
Any idea of what can be done?
Many thanks in advance.

How to Fix BlackBerry App World Identity installation fail problem: (Error Code 80003)

Hello To all you kickass BlackBerry users!
I have compiled a web site that addresses the issue if the ID Verification problem (Error Code 80003) when attempting to use AppWorld,
It seems that it is mainly a Vodacom issue in South Africa, but it should also work with other service providers that have a similar problem. RIM and Vodacom are aware of it and are looking into a solution.. In the mean time you can fix your problem step by step here: http://www.blackberryapps.byethost17.com/
Regards
BB Solutions
Feel free to send a friend request (pin on the site) to contact me personally for any queries you may have.

Blackberry Identity sometimes gives a problem to download using BIS.
you can go to manage connections, switch mobile network off, find a wifi hotspot, try updating the identity using wifi, or enter your network provider's apn settings in menu > options > advanced options > tcp/ip, enable the apn, enter service provider apn username and password, save hard reset , and download identity, just remember to undo the changes afterwards.

App world is showing up in my applications management but not on my actual blackberry

Hi I have a blackberry bold 9780, a few months ago when I received this phone from my parents it had a blackberry app world update. Ever since I tried updating it the blackberry app world is showing up in my applications management but not on my actual blackberry (if that makes sense).
