We regularly submit builds, manage provisioning profiles, and query build statuses for a large number of applications across multiple store accounts. We rely on automated tooling (Fastlane / App Store Connect API) to manage this pipeline efficiently. Recently, we have been experiencing HTTP 5xx errors when making requests to Apple's APIs (App Store Connect, Spaceship). We believe these failures are caused by rate limiting applied to our outbound IP addresses, as the errors correlate with periods of higher submission activity. We have already taken steps on our side to mitigate the issue - including distributing requests across multiple external IP addresses - but we continue to encounter these errors during peak release periods, which delays application delivery to our clients and their end users.

Hello everyone, I’m running into a situation in App Store Connect that appears to be a backend lock related to an approved version, and I’m looking for confirmation or similar experiences. Context: App had version 1.2.6 Version progressed to Pending Developer Release Before releasing to users, I chose Developer Reject I then edited the version number (to 1.2.7) Current State / Issue: After this, App Store Connect is effectively blocked: ❌ Cannot associate any builds to the version ❌ Uploading a build with the same version and higher build number does not help ❌ Cannot create a fresh version (no “+ Version” button is visible) ❌ App Store Connect API returns: ENTITY_ERROR.RELATIONSHIP.INVALID ❌ Remove Version / Delete Version is not available Even attempting brand‑new version numbers does not work. It looks like App Store Connect still considers the previously approved Pending Developer Release version to be active and locked internally. What I understand so far From my understanding: Once a version reaches Pending Developer Release, the appStoreVersion record becomes finalized Editing the version number does not truly create a new version Developer rejection does not unlock the version–build relationship Only one approved / pending version is allowed per app This seems to leave the app in a state where no new versions can be created without backend intervention. Question Can anyone confirm: That once a version reaches Pending Developer Release, it can only be reset or removed by App Store Connect Support, and That there is no self‑service workaround (UI, API, CI, or Transporter) to recover from this state? If anyone has gone through this and successfully had Apple reset the appStoreVersion record, I’d appreciate confirmation or tips on getting it routed correctly. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I am currently working on automating the renewal process for our managed certificates using the App Store Connect API. However, I've encountered an issue where certificates of the "Apple Push Service" type cannot be retrieved or created. After reviewing the documentation on CertificateType, it seems there is no corresponding type for Push Service certificates. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/certificatetype Is there any other way or a workaround to obtain or manage these certificates programmatically? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
