iPhone 3GS Update 3.1.3 App Problems

I got an iPhone today for my birthday and it's been great except for my little update problem.  After installing a bunch of apps I got around to installing iTunes on my computer and syncing it up.  It prompted me to install the latest iPhone code, version 3.1.3, which I did.  Unfortunately, after doing so, none of the apps I installed would work:

  • Facebook
  • Tweetdeck
  • Twitpict
  • VNC
  • Pandora
  • Flashlight
  • Weather Channel

Clicking any of these apps would flash the opening sequence and then return me right back to the home screen.  I figured I'd try reinstalling them.  Thankfully, that fixed the issue.

To remove them, I had to press and hold an app icon until they all began to shake and the red X's appeared.  Tapping the red X removes the icon, which I did for each one.  I then went back to the app store and installed them all over again.  Annoying yes, but shame on me for not updating the OS first.

I wonder... will this happen with every update?

Did you try going to the app store and doing update all before you started removing them?  There were a few updates that required new app code.  I'm really surprised that they didn't update your iphone code before you left the apple store.

Oh, I didn't see Update All.  I'll try that next time.  I wish I hadn't updated, I can't jail break it now.
