Issue: MapKit Snapshot API returning blank dark blue images instead of satellite tiles as of March 4, 2026. This is affecting production and we need urgent assistance. Endpoint: snapshot.apple-mapkit.com/api/v1/snapshot Symptoms: HTTP 200 response with a valid image file, but image is a solid dark navy frame with only the Apple Maps watermark — no satellite data. Occasionally a correct satellite image is returned, but the vast majority are blank. Parameters: t=satellite, 640x640. Confirmed not caused by code changes (none made), auth errors or rate limiting (status is 200), or an invalid image format (image is well-formed, just blank). API keys have been rotated and the issue persists. The intermittent correct responses suggest a backend tile-serving issue on Apple's side rather than anything client-related. Started: March 4, 2026. Same requests that worked prior to this date now consistently fail. Please see the attached sample images for reference. ASAP resolution is appreciated as this is actively
