iPhone 3GS app withdrawn by Apple from ITunes

[canam-phil]

I went to sync my iPhone with my pc today and I lost one of the very useful apps that I had downloaded recently. (WiFi Analyzer)

Looking further into it, it seems that Apple have outlawed a large number of apps for using APIs that were not approved or some such detail.

Did iTunes delete the app during the sync because it was withdrawn from iTunes?

Has anyone seen this happen?

I also have that (very useful) app, and still have it after a sync.

I'm aware it can no longer be downloaded but don't think it gets removed automatically.

mmm reminds me why I bought an htc desire instead of the iphone.... I want to be the control freak not apple !!!

Check your applications section within iTunes. Even if apps are removed from the iTunes Store, they shouldn't be removed from your downloaded apps in iTunes or your iPhone. Check that you still have that app selected in your sync preferences.

I had one that was good for train times, can't remember what it was called now.

But there was an 'update' that I installed that removed it.

"My rail" lite - best app I had. It was free, and had a very simple GUI that gave you a live departures and arrivals board for all stations. It was awesome. It was removed as the company lost the licence for the timetabling data, and shortly afterwards Network Rail released a slightly more flashy app that did exactly yhte same thing - for a fee.

There is now a similar free app from 'The Trainline'

I've never used the network rail one but this one seems to do the job

Yes, I did pay and they wont entertain any issues with this app.

You can also (temporarily) lose apps when you sync if the lastest app version needs the latest version of the iPhone OS and you haven't updated it.
