A number of iPhone developers are complaining of a bug in the App Store which prevents new applications from appearing on the mobile versions of the store when sorting by release date. According to an email from a concerned developer received by iLounge, the problem has been ongoing for some time, and despite contact from a number of developers complaining about the issue, the problem has yet to be fixed. A different developer, writing in a forum thread on the subject, claims that his revenue is down by 50% for March, blaming the bug for decreased exposure. According to the original developer’s email, there is also a large thread on the subject on Apple’s own Developer Forums, which have been down since the release of the iPhone OS 3.0 beta SDK.

Turns out that the problem is far worse: As soon as you accept a contract amendment, all apps will be removed from the store. Our app Where To? is still available when using a direct link (see our homepage futuretap . com, sorry can’t post links here) but does not appear in any lists (used to be #2 in Navigation).
