GContacts removed from the AppStore -- should I be concerned?

An application that allowed on to browse a local copy of Google Contacts was sold on the App Store for about 3 days.
I bought a copy of "gContacts".
It has been removed from the App Store without explanation.
The only information on the app is that the author was "Shawn Gragg". That's an unusual name -- there are few Google hits on it.
I'd like to know why it was removed. The worst case explanation is that the app was stealing Google account passwords. (That's bad.) The best case is a trademark problem.
I worry about the "worst case" because I (only) now note how little information is available about the author. In future I won't buy an App Store iPhone apps without some information to tell me about the reputation of the author.
Anyone have any ideas?

Whew.
It would be a lot nicer if Apple would provide some explanation of these takedowns.
I was 90% sure it was a trademark and logo issue, which is why I didn't change my gmail pw - despite my worries.
I do think though, going forward, that I won't buy any apps that don't have an associated public web site and other ways to measure the author's reputation. There are too many bad things some vendors can do with gmail account info.
Your name shows up two different ways in the get info dialog, once as McGragger in the "composer fields" and once as Shawn Gragg in the copyright field.
Shawn Gragg is a really unique name!

A couple of days ago I got a message regarding version 2 update for the app. After a few hours it was gone and the app was completely removed from the appstore?
What is going on?

Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power. Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash. If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash. An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.

Are you not seeing the icon of the app you just downloaded (it happens sometimes, and the quick fix is to reset your iPad)? Or are you running out of space on your iPad?

Hi Manny1/mreider,
First, I’m sorry to hear that you two may be having issues utilizing a recently purchased Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU) Gifting Card.
In all reality, our stores don’t even need to exchange the Gifting Card for the standard GCU card, although that option should be available to you if absolutely needed. The GCU Gifting Card can be applied to your My Best Buy membership by simply following the directions on the back of the card.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and I hope for a much better experience when you return to your local Best Buy to get this taken care of! If needed, please don't hesitate to ask for a manager or supervisor.

Guitar rock tour 2 is a great game why did you remove it from the appstore, please add it again ASAP

PLease

Contact the application's creator; it's usually them, and not Apple, that chooses to have content removed from the iTunes App Store.

Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.

You can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
The 'x' might not show on their top left corner (it might be invisible), but clicking where it should be should hide the app.

PO Approval Items Workitems are not removed from the Universal Worklist UWL

Hi,
Certain of our purchase orders require approval, they are sent to the relevant approver via workflow to their SAP inbox (SBWP) and universal worklist.
When the user executes the workitem (Approve or Reject) The workitem should be removed from the universal worklist and SBWP when refreshed.
The problem we experiencing is that the Workitems are not removed from the UWL after they have been executed. The SBWP is behaving correctly and the items are removed.
It is not all the workitems that have this problem, only certain ones - but there is no pattern.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.
Regards,
Kleber

Hello, Robke100.
I would recommend trying the steps in the article below.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Once these steps are processed, attempt to accept the terms and conditions.
Also, you can make a purchase via the iTunes Store on the computer. This should allow you to bypass accepting the terms and conditions on the device.

When and how does the message context get removed from the message when we use pass thru send port

Friends,
i have a doubt regarding message context.
Assume i have used XMLRecieve pipeline in the receive side to receive the message so that the message context is created. I.e properties are promoted/written.
now if we use pass thru transmit pipe line at send side, how and when does the message context get removed from the message?? Since pass thru does not have any stages/components, how does the message context removed and sent out a pure message to destination???
i mean what exactly happens here to remove the context??
Ravindar

Thanks for the reply.
"The Context is created by the Adapter, regardless of any Pipeline or Pipeline Component. It has nothing to do with PassThrough vs. XmlReceive, although XmlReceive will write Promoted Properties to the existing Context,
as can any other Component."
yeah yeah, adapter does create some properties in context. You are right, i am aware of it. I just missed to explain it clearly. what i meant is addition of context properties will not happen if pass thru used. Thanks its clear.
"No. The Context already exists on the Message when it comes from the MessageBox and
is equally available to any Component in any Stage. The Context that hits the Pipeline is whatever was last Persisted, either by a Receive Port or Orchestration. It is not created by the XmlAssembler (XmlTransmit)"
You are right , the context already exists on the message while it leaves the receive port, and once it persists
to message box the context and message context gets stored in messages in relative tables.
Now as you said the components get the message from the last persistence, assume i have a send port(with passthru)
subscriber and a orchestration subsrciber for this message.
Orchestration gets the message with context right!!
if the send sendport(with passthru) also gets message along with context, then where is this context removed/demoted
while sending it out?. i guess as per SAAkhlaq said,
here sendport(with passthru) should get a pure message without context as passthru used.
or is it that ultimately send adapter removes the context completely?
or is it something like biztalk run time load the context from database into cache and both orchestration and send port gets pure message, and if needed they use context from cache???
sorry i may be troubling you, but i am confused. i hope i am not creating any nuisance with this
post.

Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
The screen should give you these choices...
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get help online
Disk Utility
First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

Lyrica 2 app removed from the app store?

Hello.
I've Noticed that the Lyrica 2 app has been removed from the app store. What happened? And is there a way to have my money back? 0,99 is not much, but it's really frustrating.

Dah•veed wrote:
I am curious as to why you feel that because the developer stopped developing and selling the app, you believe that you should be given a refund? You paid the 99¢ and got an app, correct? So you received the app for which you paid?
Because the app still crashes very often and now likely never will be fixed. And while it's working right now, there have been times where it hasn't worked at all - I don't know if it's just looking at lyric websites or if the app itself has a server that it needs to run.

I cannot purchase any app from the AppStore because I get the "INSTALL ERROR DISTRIBUTION SIGNED BY APPLE" notice.

Frustrating - cannot purchase from the AppStore.

Back up all data.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one toCRL. Log out, log back in, and test.
