Few weeks ago, first Foursquare application and then my favorite RunKeeper app started to fail. The symptoms were simple:
1) attempt to start
2) wait for for 2-10 seconds
3) exit
Analysis of the crash logs did not reveal anything obvious (see ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/NAME:

So, Nael - I am back in the game and cannot wait to claim back mayorships for all places I have been ousted :-)
