How to remove bought app from app store 'archive'

since a while in the App store (both on iPhone or on the computer) it's possible to re-install old purchases of apps that you once downloaded and deleted. that's cool.
more than two years ago i downloaded viber, deleted it, never re-installed or used it again.
now a friend bought a smartphone, installed viber, and his viber app tells him i'm one of the 10 people out of all his phone contacts that is using viber.
when he tries to message or call me of course it doesn't work, but still i'd love to have myself removed from the servers of viber, so that people don't see me anymore as one of their contacts so called using viber.
i found an article (in Dutch) here that explains me how to remove viber from showing up in the "all purchases - not on this iPhone" part of the app store, but it explicitly tells that won't have my Apple ID disconnected from the app, it will just hide the app (it even explains how to make it show up again too)
can somebody please tell me how i CAN have this purchase removed from my apple ID history - and thus hopefully have my 'link' removed at the Viber servers
much thanks in advance!!

You cannot
You can only hide it.
The entire point of this service is that you ahve acces to all prior purchases.

How do I remove my App store information from a Mac about to be sold

How do I remove my App Store information from
a Mac about to be sold ?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

Remove non app store application from Launchpad Mac OS X v10.7.2

As I remember, to remove app from lunchpad in mac os x lion 10.7.1, I just have to drag the app from the lunchpad to trash. But in mac os x 10.7.2, i couldn't do that anymore. How to remove the app actually?

The firmware in Apple's sytems for the past few years disallow the user from running or installing a version or build of OS X that predates the original version and build that came on the computer when it shipped. This is to prevent situations wherein the OS doesn't have the requisite drivers to support the graphics subsytem or other components crucial to functioning.
The current build in the online store is much earlier than the version that shipped on your 2012. It is likely that the only build you will be able to use on your machine, that you could directly download form the online store will be Mountain Lion, when it becomes available.
As such, if you need to restore the system before then, you will need to use the Recovery Partition on your system, or Internet Recovery, to reinstall the OS.

You can't permanently delete any items from you purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : hiding and unhiding.

[iPhone development] How to load the App Store directly from an app?

I need to figure out how to load the app store from one of my applications by clicking a button. The code is relatively easy to load say a website. But when I use this code:
-(IBAction)goToAppStore;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.com/apps/appname"]];
it does not work, because it says too many redirects occurred.
Is there a way to load the app store (and load into a specific app info view) directly from the app, instead of loading a website to load the app store?
Thanks very much,
LOQ123

Thank you.
But I using the one line code I had too many redirects. So, I needed the latter code, which didn't load the app store until all the redirects have happened. Unfortunately I don't understand this code:
// Process a LinkShare/TradeDoubler/DGM URL to something iPhone can handle
- (void)openReferralURL:(NSURL *)referralURL {
NSURLConnection *conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:referralURL] delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
[conn release];
// Save the most recent URL in case multiple redirects occur
// "iTunesURL" is an NSURL property in your class declaration
- (NSURLRequest *)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection willSendRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request redirectResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
self.iTunesURL = [response URL];
return request;
// No more redirects; use the last URL saved
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:self.iTunesURL];
I'm know where to implement the code, however I don't know where to put my link in inside the specific code up above.
Please help me
Thanks very much

HT1848 how to download the app store?

how to download the app store on iphone4 ?

The App Store app is on your iPhone now and cannot be removed, so there's nothing to download. If you can't find it, it may be on another home screen or inadvertently hidden in a folder. Either do a search for it or try the Reset Home Screen Layout in the Settings/General/Reset area. Also, check the Restrictions to see if purchasing apps has been turned off, and if so turn that back on.
Regards.
