Flashlight App Sneaks Tethering Into App Store [Pulled]

And where does it say that we don't have "official" tethering in this country? AT&T now offers it.
If you're wanting to jump in this conversation, I recommend starting from the origin. Clearly, he doesn't 'have to' ride a train anymore than we have to opt for AT&T's butt-rape.
For those of you who are paranoid that big brother will quietly extract your App from your local library (lol) or , more likely, the developer will issue a .x 'update' which will kill functionality, simply select the Application in iTunes and drag it to your desktop/documents.
I'd keep it off your iDisk just incase any iDrones are on S&D mode

Yes it is an US/AT&T thing...we don't even have MMS yet...
no, wait...that was last year...
why can't i get the purple screen to come up this morning?
are you tapping the top right, i forgot and i was like nooooooooo
Security issue?
Has anyone considered if there are any security issues with this tethering setup? Could it be possible that by tethering through the SOCKS proxy server that this app could very well be stealing our data and even capturing passwords and such?
Can anyone confirm that there are no security issues with this app?

ok.... i'm stuck here...
i downloaded safari on my laptop last night... not firefox.... so when i get to the proxy setttings, i can add socks and port but there's no place to select socks v4 (unless i'm in the wrong place)
also... if i go back to safari and type about:config... nothing happens????
so can someone help me using safari
(and i still can't get a purple screen on my iphone this morning!!???)
Not all apps will place nice with a SOCKS proxy. I'm frankly surprised that Outlook is able to connect to an Exchange server through this.
SNAP OUT OF IT!
Now, someone did a port scan earlier, nothing out of the ordinary, but if you don't trust the app, just don't put in any passwords on the go. Otherwise, no more unsecure than using your neighbors wifi, unless your neighbor is a computer scientist of the black hat variety.

So, if aliens come and take the app away or the Apple Strike Force (i.e REACT) makes him to issue an .x update under the threat of bodily harm, then all we would have to do is drag the app file back into iTunes? Is this all?
Those are my instructions and that's why I specified that they are the setup instructions for Firefox and only Firefox. You just need to put the SOCKS proxy IP and port into Safari, no additional settings need changing.
OH!!! *embarrased*
and i finally got the purple screen... i was doing blue, red, yellow... but it's blue, yellow, red!
and.....
TADA.... i'm on macrumors on my laptop!
WOOT!!!!!!!!
Not sure if understand your question, but the WIFI connection you setup is an ad-hoc connection, means a Computer-to-computer connection, its not a mobile hotspot like mifi and mywi.
if you want another device to use the "share" phone connection you need to set it up the same way (to use that proxy and that WIFI ad-hoc) and only 1 device at the time.
This may no answer your question but again I am not sure if i followed you
I have installed handylight on my iphone and it works like a charm
But now apple has pulled it from the store, is there any chance they would prevent users that already installed the app to use it? And now it's in my itunes, will I still be able to install it on some other iphone?
