This application appears to be the first one we've deployed For Purchase that uses a unicode character in its title, which explains why we have not seen this particular one before. The title of the associated application is "Linux Shell 01 - Manual Práctico del Shell". Further details from davmor2: Bug Description: A recent magazine came through with a unicode character in the title of the application and USC/SCA combo was unable to handle it. Version: n/a OS: 64bit Oneiric USC Version: 5.0.4 Steps To Reproduce: 1. Goto myapps 2. Create an app with a unicode title 3. Myapps will publish this 4. USC will fail to download/install this Expected Results: I expect to be able to create an app and publish it. That or we need to document that only non unicode characters may be applied to a title.
