Apple's IAP verifyReceipt endpoint failing

We use https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt to validate IAP receipts on our servers, and we're seeing a ton of errors with this endpoint today.


The error returned is

Http/1.1 Service Unavailable


I filed a TSI (follow up #: 626779040) on this. We launched an update of our app this morning with significant press coverage. So now our new users are unable to purchase IAPs. 😟

We're also having some issues with the same verifyReceipt endpoint today.


It started returning HTML errors instead of the expected JSON.

<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>Your request produced an error. <BR>[newNullResponse]</body></html>

The errors started occuring today around ~12pm PST.

I contacted Apple Developer Program Support (case # 861132428) and am still waiting to hear back.

for me SKProductsRequest is coming back empty. Lots of problems submitting builds to TestFlight earlier too

We have been getting 404 errors from verifyReceipt since about 11 am pacific today. No change to any code. All worked fine before today

Same issue. This has worked for me for months, but started seeing errors around 11:00 AM PST. It seems to have started working again around 6PM PST.

Looks like receipt validation started working again at ~6pm PST.
