But isn't it actually reinstalled from the Store? Microsoft checks your account and sees you've already paid for the app, and it will be reinstalled. I'm not sure on this, but I don't believe an app will be reinstalled if it's no longer published in the Store.
True and Not true I have
nokiaupdates app, it hasn't been published for well over a month. 10 days ago I reset my phone to factory
settings and I backup my phone after I install new apps so at some point before or after it was last published I saved it along with all my other apps
to the cloud/ SkyDrive. So it's not from the store I guess but it is saved.
When I finished resetting the phone, it populated my list of apps along with several other apps ( 1 more that I know of) that are no longer published. Apps like
Nokia Camera & Nokia Reading which are either not available in my region ( Nokia Reading) or "This app is not available for your phone" like Nokia Camera (I have an 810) stayed at
pending so I had to use a Wi-Fi proxy to reinstall those but apps that are no longer published like
nokiaupdates that I had saved way back, reinstalled.
I contacted the publisher of nokiaupdates and he said it had been pulled from the store as a
free app awhile ago
but resubmitted as a paid app perhaps that's why it reinstalled, because it was not a paid app and when I first
installed it on August 11 it was only a free app at the time
