Apple Working on Fix for Corrupted App Store Downloads [Update: Fixed]

No sorry whatsoever. They did re release quite a few updates with the corrected drm. If you happened to download an update that was crashing just redonwload the new update and everything should work.

Luckily my apps were not popular enough to grab any negative feedback during the downtime. Woot?
 
Hopefully these lazy developers now realise that the App Store is not the golden goose they thought it was. Apple, and its dodgy servers, own you now.

As we learned today (not really a revelation - just a confirmation), malware can get into App Store just as easily as it can to Play Store.

Since there was one piece of malware on the App Store, and hundreds on Android stores, either very few malware authors try to get on the App Store, or it is much much harder for malware to get on the App Store.

And I think the amount of money that malware authors make is so little that the $99 for a developer account (which I assume is closed down without refund when you submit malware and it is found out) is a real deterrent :)

Rectifying it within the day isn't good enough for you? Please, go use Android if you intend to complain for the sake of complaining. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I think the original posters comment was respectfully made and a good point. If I had purchased something and it had been delivered in error, even if corrected quickly, it would seem to be a good practice to apologize.

Do we really care about a "sorry" from any corporation?

And that does what? Show they care? Ha,ha,ha..........

These are complex technical issues, which have all been programmed by humans and humans make mistakes.

Since it doesn't happen 24/7 for months on end , fixing it is good enough for me.

There is other stuff we don't know yet that will happen.

The world is not a perfect place!

Androids get hacked and turn into bots

not to mention fake "open" google does not publish its search algorithm...

do no evil

more like

can't do anything right...

Why would google publish its search algorithm?

on point number one - it has been updated and its not android devices turned into botnets but rather windows desktops that spoof headers to look like it was sent from android phones. another perfect example of spreading FUD before actually verifying information. Just like a lot of things on internet Don't believe everything u read

Whether it is Valve, EA or Apple once again the legal users are punished and the pirates never see an issue...

That's right, nobody ever downloaded cracked software and found it not working, or opened up a downloaded zip file to find a festering sack of malware. Nope, never happened.

I can not argue with your statement. However the difference is when you are download warez/cracked software A: This is expected. B: It is free!

On the flip side if I am a downloading it legally(and paying for it). I expect it to work every-time/all the time.

This is a perfect example of how DRM/copy protection hurts the honest people.

Actually, it is a "Higgs-like particle" with the weight of a Barium atom, previously being innert since it only has mass but does not interact otherwise with our physical and chemical world. Predicted is that 2/3 of all gravity in the universe consists of higgs-like matter. Quarks are way smaller hand are observed when matter decays because some funny physicists put stuff (protons, neutrons, or whatever) in a tube and accellerate it so they they can see it go boom with something going the other way.

Edit: I realized that wasn't clear: Why "Higgs-like particle?" because they measured different sizes and it could be indeed a whole set of new kind of matter they started to discover. It's very exciting and me as an interrested N00b in the field of Physics, I like to read more about such stuff.

We knew quarks existed. This is a particle theorized for decades, all the way back to Einstein. Since people thought the LHC was going to cause a black hole, I'd say that the positive results are worth being happy about.

I'd rather have it fixed than a dog and pony show. Apologies don't change anything. Actions do. How many companies apologize but DON'T rectify the damage they have done, or use it as a diversion while they drag their feet? I think Apple deserves applause for putting all hands on deck to fix it, fix it NOW, and let everyone know it's fixed. I don't need to be fluffed to feel like that's value.

I absolutely agree! I think they would have been disappointed if the Higgs-like particle would only be one. That would have been too boring. Considering that the LHC only ran at 50% so far, I'm excited to see what will happen after the repair/revamp. The Back Hole thing was really funny. Probably came from the denomination of Christian Scientists (yes, that is an oxymoron: They don't believe in science, not even doctors). For a Black Hole, you would need more mass than our whole solar system can provide, but yea, if I make a particle fast enough, I can probably turn it into a Black Hole, or my mother-in-law for that matter...
 
I'm sure no one cares, but I never got any of these corrupted downloads before (when everyone else was getting them).

But TODAY, July 9th, apps I've updated today crash on launch. I tap them, the screen starts to change like they are loading, but I end back up at SpringBoard.

Is this a problem again for others?

Nah, I'm obviously an Android fanboy who only uses Blackberry devices! I love my HP TouchPad. It is so sick!
