App World Icon Disappeared

Greetings,

 

I was prompted to upgrade AppWorld to 4.0.0.63, so I did. After my BlackBerry rebooted, the App World icon disappeared. How can I get it back?

 

I have "Show All" checked on my home screen menu.

 

AppWorld is already installed. I can see it by going to Options > Device > Application Management > Applications. It is just the icon that is missing on my home screen. I wasn't prompted to remove the icon during the upgrade. It just vanished during the upgrade process.

 

Thanks,

Shane.

Remove the App world from your device and have a reboot. Then reinstall app world and have a reboot again.

Re: App World Icon Disappeared

I would suggest trying this:

  • Go to Options > Advanced > Applications and scroll the AppWorld application and don't click on it, just scroll to it. Click Menu > Delete and remove the application.
  • Now, do a reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
  • Finally, use your BlackBerry browser to go to www.blackberry.com/appworld and download/install the AppWorld application again.
  • After installation and possibly another reboot, check your homescreen or another folder, or Downloads folder for the application.

I deleted AppWorld, rebooted, and downloaded AppWorld again. I didn't change the application permissions. The AppWorld icon is still missing.

 

I followed the steps in this blog post, but it didn't help.

 

Is there anything else I could try? There is obviously a problem with AppWorld. As far as I know there is no other way of opening AppWorld, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Shane.
