Tell HN: Apple development certificate server seems down?
I don't see anything on https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ , but I haven't been able to install apps for development on my own devices starting at 11AM PDT. Other people on Reddit seem to be hitting this too [0]. Anyone knows anything about it? [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSProgramming/comments/1rq4uxl Edit: Now getting intermittent 502s from https://ppq.apple.com/ . Something is definitely going on.

For those wondering why this is a big deal it means that every developers attempting to run a development version of an iPhone, iPad or MacOS app cannot run their apps right now. This is worse than Github being down and Apple Developers who pay 99$ a year for the privilege of writing software on this ecosystem aren't event getting a status page update: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

I'm getting invalid certificates from https://ppq.apple.com . I think that's probably the root cause?

Enterprise apps distributed via MDM & signed using in-house distribution certificates are dead in the water too with the error message "Unable to Verify App" showing on start-up. Apple's status page is showing no problems (all green). This is a really bad look for Apple.

Any other services down for anyone? I've had a credit service portal fail for hours today with a notice of server issues. As well as a credit union login with a similar message. These are all first times for me. Some big black cape / hat pressure testing? [edit] And FreeUSATax portal. Solar cone today?

Here was the developer thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/818403 I found with lots of other reports of "Unable to Verify App - An internet connection is required to verify the trust of the developer". Although https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ was green for most of the 3-4 hour outage, the page now at least acknowledges two minutes of downtime: App Store Connect - Resolved Outage Today, 12:04 AM - 12:06 AM All users were affected Users experienced a problem with this service. Not a great developer experience.

I’m in the 2 hours wasted club. Could have been worse.

Someone on the relevant dev team needs to fix that error message!! So frustrating to get an error that is obviously wrong. Handle your error cases properly guys. It makes you look like amateurs.
