Hi,

The primary reason for applications to be removed without notice is when they are flagged as malicious. This can happen for one of two main reasons:

1. The application is redirecting the user. Applications cannot redirect the user to any page (even to the app itself). Any such attempts, and the presence of any such code (even if the code is commented out or never executed) will trigger AppReviewer to remove your app.

2. The application has changed its name to one that collides with another name in the directory. Name changes are strongly discouraged for that exact reason.

So, I don't know which case applies to your applications, but these are the 2 top reasons why apps disappear without a notification.

Thanks,

Hi Bruno,

Even my apps have gone too from the directory, without any notification....approved for more than 2 years now...
Also, all of these apps dosn't :

1. have malicious content.
2. changed its name to one that collides with another name in the directory
3. is redirecting the user.

My apps are Some of the most popular apps on orkut with millions of users :

Hi,
Easy buddy.

Most likely that you have more than 25 apps.
And the new Orkut and the new rules does not allowed more than 25
apps.

So, Orkut it´s deleting your apps.

I know that a while ago we are allowed to publish more than 25 apps.
But that the past.
Orkut has changed the rules, and to make things work as they want they
will delete your apps.

Got it.

They will always give you the same reason:

The primary reason for applications to be removed without notice is
when
they are flagged as malicious. This can happen for one of two main
reasons:

1. The application is redirecting the user. Applications cannot
redirect the
user to any page (even to the app itself). Any such attempts, and the
presence of any such code (even if the code is commented out or never
executed) will trigger AppReviewer to remove your app.

2. The application has changed its name to one that collides with
another

name in the directory. Name changes are strongly discouraged for that
exact
reason.

Hope could help.
