Microsoft has squashed Marketplace app update bug

A couple of days ago, we reported that Microsoft has suspended new Windows Phone apps from being posted because there was a bug in the system, but it seems that things have finally gotten resolved. According to Mazhar Mohammed, the latest happening has seen Microsoft squash this rather niggling bug, saying, “We fixed the digital certificate problem and last evening resumed publishing new apps and updates. It will take a day or two for the repair to fully deploy and newly-published apps to begin appearing in Marketplace again. If you experienced errors, I want to emphasize that you don’t need to do anything to start downloading new apps or updates once the repair has finished rolling out.”

It will still take a couple of days thereabouts for the update to roll out and take effect, so for those of you who have been trying particularly hard to download an app of theirs for use without any success, patience is the keyword here. After all, there is no such thing as a crucial app that life cannot go on, is there?
