Update on App World problem

Sorry we’ve been so quiet for the last 2-3 weeks but it was holiday time at Yatca Central! Back in the saddle again now though and full steam ahead (forgive the mixed transport metaphors).

RIM have apparently fixed the problem that was preventing Yatca and other 3rd party apps from working alongside App World. Unfortunately, they haven’t yet given a release date for the fix. You can follow the issue on their issue tracking website though you will have to register to use this. To save you the hassle of doing that, the following is a direct copy ‘n’ paste of the latest update to the issue:

This issue has been fixed in the latest App World code line and we are investigating what the next App World release vehicle will be that will pick up the fix.

This issue has been fixed in the latest App World code line and we are investigating what the next App World release vehicle will be that will pick up the fix.

Until this fix is released, our advice continues to be that you should not install App World if you want to run Yatca on your device.

App World 1.1.0.11 incompatible with Yatca

The MissingResourceException problem that a number of users have reported is caused by an incompatibility between Yatca and the latest version of App World (1.1.0.11).  Installing the latter seems to change the behaviour of the message list integration APIs that are vital to the successful operation of Yatca. We have alerted RIM to the problem here. If App World is uninstalled Yatca functions correctly again so we suggest you uninstall App World should you wish to continue using Yatca.

Problems on leaked OS versions and App World

A number of users have reported a MissingResourceException error when trying to use Yatca on leaked new OS versions. Others have reported the very same error having installed a new version of the App World store front app. All I can say at this stage is that I’m investigating. Thanks!
