Installed iOS 4.3.2 now apps won't open - anyone else?

Just faced the same problem.

I have 4 apps that needed updating and i updated only one (the Wordpress app) and after updating, every other app started to work again.

I had the same problem on my ipad 2 after the update. Most of my downloaded apps would not open, they'd just momentarily flicker a black to a screen then go back to the home screen again. I updated an app that needed to be updated from the app store then all of my affected apps were operational again. I was so relieved.

Cool...The trick of deleting and reinstalling an application made this problem go away.

Superb workaround to fix the bug. But I hope Apple gets these kind of minor bugs which sometimes makes its customers lose confidence on Apple...

Just doing my part and posting that the same issue affected me this morning. Updated and non of my apps worked. Deleted Facebook and redownloaded it, now all apps are working. Pain in the ***, but glad the solution wasn't terribly complicated.

Does any one knows where (city or country) iOS code is developed and tested?

🙂 hi md beast it's ok, when you have downloaded an app, if you have to download it again a second time then it's free. lori :-)

😕 hi rey you're not on your own alot of my apps seem to close again when i go on them, especially my photo apps, & not only that but my itunes keeps freezing too, there seems to be alot of problems at the moment with them. lori

WOW, I have been trying all day! But, they were right. Delete ONE app and of course everything began to update quick.

I just had the same problem. What it seems that you need to do is click on the "Store" tab in iTunes and authorize the computer you are on and then re-sync the apps. This will re-sync your third party apps without the need to delete and re-install (or pay again for the apps)

This happens automatically if you delete and reinstall an app so that is why your work around seemed to fix the problem.

Resyncing my iPhone didn't work for me. Only when I deleted one of my downloaded apps (I tried Facebook) and then reinstalling it did the trick.

i deleted an app i didnt pay for and then installed it again. Everything seems to be fine now

I deleted some of my free app,s (5 for those who would like to know) reinstalled them and then every other app started working.

Updated my iPhone today and could not run apps. I tried updating purchased apps but that did not work. I did have one app in my cloud that was not on my iPhone (I had not planned to put it on the phone), so I decided to try downloading it to the phone. The app/iTunes store made me agree to a new 'terms of service' agreement before it downloaded the app from my cloud. Once I did that and the app downloaded, my other apps started working. I think the problem is with iTunes new 'terms of service agreement'. They probably need to add it to the update purchases tab on the iPhone and then maybe you would not need to download a new or old app. Anyway, I believe if you just download any new app and agree to the new 'terms of service', the apps on the phone will work.

I noticed this same issue with iOS 4.3.5 and even a certain unmentionable iOS in development. As a new Apple iOS Developer, I contacted Apple's Developer Technical Support (DTS) and initiated a Technical Support Incident (TSI). The device console logs for each attempt to open an app always result in:

Aug 16 21:30:44 <DeviceName> SpringBoard[61] <Warning>: Application '<AppName>' exited abnormally with signal 9: Killed: 9

Aug 16 21:30:45 <DeviceName> kernel[0] <Debug>: AppleFairplayTextCrypterSession::fairplayOpen() failed, error -42017

I have tried all of the various techniques described in this thread:

• Delete an app, re-install it
• Sync iPad to iTunes
• Reboot iPad
• Update All Apps

I received an acknowledgement from Apple that my device console log has been received and that it is under investigation. If Apple's fix is not under NDA or require a Developer account, I'll share their solution with this forum.

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM

Unable to start any third-party application on 64GB iPad 2 running XXX. Screen flashes black and returns to home screen clicking on any app. Device console log for any attempt shows:

Aug 16 21:30:44 Shinigami SpringBoard[61] <Warning>: Application '<AppName>' exited abnormally with signal 9: Killed: 9

Aug 16 21:30:45 Shinigami kernel[0] <Debug>: AppleFairplayTextCrypterSession::fairplayOpen() failed, error -42017

Multiple app purchases/downloads/reinstalls/removals, reboots, and re-syncs (both wireless and tethered) do not repair permissions or allow apps to start normally. I am at a loss for how to continue or to allow apps to work normally. Please advise.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Click any application

2. App exits abnormally, killed via signal 9, followed by <Debug>: AppleFairplayTextCrypterSession::fairplayOpen() failed, error -42017

3. Attempted to use App Store to download new apps, delete apps, re-download apps, buy new apps. All app installs/removals work correctly. Does not repair permission to start any application. Unable to start any application even after multiple reboots, multiple syncs both wireless (iCloud) and tethered (USB) to iTunes.
