Missing Applications

Some applications, including mine, but NOT all, are showing up for some users.

The problem is not completely solved.

But Google is now working on it.
 
On my G1 this issue have persisted for a few days now. Apps are being downloaded, and downloaded apps don't show up.
 
I'm on GSM HTC Hero official 2.1 and I've searched for 5 random apps from that list and all of them show (in free and paid variants), so no problems over here.

It seems as though the Android Market is not showing some apps. These apps are visible through 3rd party sites like AppBrain and Cyrket, but when you navigate to the Market on your phone, they are unable to be found. I've compiled a list of apps and devices that people across various support forums have posted that they've had issues with. I have a feeling this is a pretty major issue and Google doesn't seem to know about it yet. I'm advocating that everyone that has an Android device, to check the list of apps below. If you've discovered a missing app not listed, please post below.

Post here if you find an app through AppBrain, but cannot access it in the Market on your phone.

Affected Apps:
SlideScreen
LauncherPro
ADW.Launcher
Handcent SMS
People/Contacts Widget
WatchDroid
Where
Better Contacts
WeGolf
Setting Profiles
NetSMS
Quick Settings


Affected Devices:
HTC Evo - 2.1
HTC Hero - 2.1 (Some apps are working)
HTC Desire - 2.1
Moto Droid - 2.0 and 2.1
Moto Milestone - 2.1
HTC Increctible - 2.1
Droid Eris


Let Google know about this! If you are having these issues please post in the following threads. The more people we can get to speak up the sooner we can get Googles attention.

Application is not updated in the android market - Android Market Help

App disappears from the Market after upgrade - Android Developers | Google Groups

Issue 8917 - android - Market doesn't show some app. on Sense - Project Hosting on Google Code

Problem exists on htc mytouch slide as well
 
Despite what Google says problem has not been fixed. My guess is that they added the ones having large downloads but left other apps in the dark.
 
Another issue I've encountered is that the application shows up in AppBrain, it shows up on my phones market, I paid for the app, but its still trying to authorize purchase for the last 45 minutes. Program is SystemPanel App

A few days ago, I had the same issue you guys are referring to with handcent sms. had to go to their website forum and find the link by the developer to download it and install on the EVO.

I have a Moto Milestone - 2.1, no problem to see SlideScreen (normal and Pro).
same thing for Handcent... visible.
 
The NYTimes is now reporting on this:

This is one headline Google doesn't want to see this morning. Less than 24 hours after Apple introduced its latest and greatest creation, the iPhone 4, at its conference for Apple developers, a small, but growing group of Android developers are reporting issues with their updated applications disappearing from the Android Market.

[...]

According to the developers, the Android Market has stopped showing some applications. The apps are still visible through third-party sites like AppBrain and Cyrket, which serve as searchable repositories of current Android Market apps. However, when a user navigates to the Android Market on their mobile phone, the apps are nowhere to be found.

The issue seems to only be affecting applications that have been recently updated with bug fixes or new features. After the updated application is submitted, it disappears. Some older versions of the Android operating system can still see the apps in some cases, but the most recent versions of the OS (Android 2.0 and 2.1) cannot.

That means users with an HTC Evo, Desire, Hero, Droid, Incredible, Droid Eris or Moto Milestone are currently affected.

I still had a few small issues last night, but this morning everything seems to be ok.
From France, tested on Milestone and Desire, both running 2.1-update1, on Orange and SFR networks.
Hope everyone else is ok ?

I believe this was a separate issue: URGENT: Android market not processing orders as of 11:00AM 6/8 - Android Market Help

Did SystemPanel ever download for you? As far as I can tell all the orders from the afternoon did finally authorize. Some took up to four hours to authorize. Very sorry for the trouble, many other developers experienced the same problem (possibly the entire market).
 
I can't seem to find Ringtones, developed by Mabilo Android Team, in the market. It shows up in some of the search engines though. So I don't know if it is related to this or if the developer pulled the app. I have an EVO 4G. Anybody else have this problem or know why it isn't showing up?
 
I just downloaded tank recon about an hour ago, and it no longer shows up in a search. Also, Garden of Weeden is missing, all but one of its developers apps are now gone. Whatever is going on, it seems to be getting worse.

EDIT: Almost every app under my downloads seems to be missing when I search for it. If this issue is anything more than (very) temporary it's gonna be a big problem.
 
After a clean install today, I was unable to find appbrain, so I thought I'd just download MyBackup and reload my last backup. I was unable to find MyBackup, so I started crying.

After a little while they were both there again.

Good to hear it, and sorry again for the nonsense.

In other news, I've now been struck by the original problem: WebSharing and WebSharing Lite have disappeared. SystemPanel and SystemPanel Lite are still present.
