Fix iPhone Apps Crashing

If you have been using your iPhone for some time, as with all technology, you will run into one or two problems.

One unexpected iPhone bug which you might encounter is all your 3rd party App’s might just stop working one day, and Crash every time you try to open them.

The first time this happened I though it was something I did wrong, and did a full recovery using iTunes (which erased everything on my iPhone, and worst part as well as my Contacts)

Luckily I had followed my own advice previously and had Funambol installed as shown in the Transfer and Syncronise your iPhone and Outlook Contacts so afterwards I could just sync up again from my contacts saved online.

I found an easier way (by accident) to Fix iPhone Apps Crashing on launch which uses the App Store on your iPhone.

Simply do the following:

  • Remove just one of your applications
  • Go to AppStore and re-install the application, also if you have any updates , choose to install them.
  • All your apps should now work again.

I searched online and found on CNET that some other iPhone users had the same problem and that they were also able to fix it by doing an update of one application using the AppStore on the iPhone.

Some suggested that there could be a on/off switch (probably a wrongly set permission for the linux guys and galls out there), which get reset after a successful install.

Well,now you know. So follow the easy and quick path.
