I have an iPhone 4 (out of warranty) that all of sudden got stuck on dock mode and stopped playing sounds trough it's speaker. The only time I could hear something from the speaker was the ringtone when someone was calling me.

Before I opened the phone to try to find a fix, I wanted to resolve the issue with software. That because I knew it was a software and not a hardware issue.

Googling around I've found a fix. I had to jailbreak and SSH into the phone in order to delete a launch deamon. After downloading the app for the job, to my amusement, when i executed the app nothing happened.

I quickly fired up a terminal window so I could run the app. It ran. I could jailbreak the device, remove the service, and then the issue was gone.

So Apple is really blacklisting apps in Mountain Lion, not only to protect users. But to keep us from running things they don't like.

Lucky for us that we're hackers. ;)

Really. Perhaps you could point to the app on the openly viewable blacklist?
