“No valid ‘aps-environment’” Error Google Gmail app for iPhone/iPad (UPDATED)

Google just released a Gmail app for the iPhone/iPad/iPod (ios 4/ios 5), but it comes with the following error: “no valid ‘aps-environment’ entitlement string found for application”

This error seems to be associated with a bug in the apps push notification system. I’m sure an update will be pushed through soon to fix this problem. Until then, the Google Gmail app isn’t going to be so useful. Kind of sad to think that with this bug, the crummy native mail.app is more useful.

Has Google released a product in the past three years that didn’t have problem from launch? It seems like they have a few fantastic products, but a bunch more that don’t ever take off. Remember the Google 3D virtual room thing? What the hell was the deal with that?

Update: Google has already pulled the Gmail app from the Apple app store: “The iOS app we launched today contained a bug with notifications. We have pulled the app to fix the problem. Sorry we messed up.” (Link to Official Tweet) If this were something from a small developer I’d be more inclined to understand, but seriously Google? With as rigorous a hiring scheme as you have, this is the best you can do?
