Missing Applications

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
 
Noticed this myself today, decided to search on the best android forums and found this...

I was hoping to use Slidescreen :(

All AppBrain does is list the apps. It still relies on the Market to download and install the apps. If I click on SlideScreen in AppBrain on my phone, it just pulls up the Market and shows:

There are no matches in Android Market for the search: pname:com.larvalabs.slidescreen

Just checked; not one of those apps listed are available to download on my Hero either, and I've got the official 2.1 update. Ruh roh.
 
Anyone else come across any other apps that are missing? I'm going to start cross posting on a couple of other forums.
 
I am not able to find the above mentioned apps either. From France, tested on a Motorola Milestone 2.1-update1 and an HTC Desire 2.1-update1.
My application is no longer visible either.
I hope Google gets this sorted out quickly.
 
Hmm..maybe that's why some apps I've selected in AppBrain don't show up for install?

Edit - Theory busted, searched and found what AppBrain doesn't show for some reason.
 
The problem is still ongoing. I've been cross-posting in as many forums as I can, and contacting as many Developers to help this gain traction. I've updated the main post to reflect more apps and devices that seem to be having this issue.

Seeing as this is affecting more than just the Evo, could a Mod please move this to the apps forum, and possibly a sticky pretty please? ;)
 
Same problems for me with a Nexus One (Android 2.1) in the UK. Missing apps previously downloaded are Pure calendar agenda widget (koxx) and Digital clock (maize)
 
It has been broken since friday last week as far as I can tell..

Apps with certain permissions simply disappear from the Market.

If Google could just come up with a status so we know they are at least aware of the problem..
