According to apple, all is green
half of the new orders affected and renew subscriptions stopped. I am curios why this is not announced anywere
We're having the same problem as of 7:30am EST this morning.
We've been experiencing the same issue since 24 Jan 2020 12:10 UTC.
We are having similar issue too. Verify Receipt endpoint is sending HTML instead of JSON.
We are having the same issue too Started an hr or so ago. Verify receipt endpoint is sending HTML instead of JSON.
I am waiting for a call back, the support person I spoke to didn't know how to report this so is speaking to the senior team...
We are experiencing this issue as well. Both the SSL issue mentioned earlier as well as the API endpoint returning "Connecting to the iTunes Store" HTML responses.
Meanwhile the status page shows all green: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Also getting the issue with the receipt validation endpoint responding with 'Connecting to iTunes Store' HTML here, since about an hour ago.
Same here from Germany, started Jan 24, 2020 12:11:01 PM UTC (going on for 3 hours at this point). We get a mix of connection timeouts and service unavailables depending on the actual server answering.
It seems that some, but not all, Apple servers are affected by this (maybe a single DC?). In any case we found that some servers still respond; if you can force your servers to use a different DNS entry (buy.itunes.apple.com is resolving differently for different callers), you might still be lucky enough to get validations. Note however that you should closely monitor this then; if you hardcode IP addresses, these may become invalid at any time⚠ so this is a temporary workaround at best. In any case that is just saving a sales event that happens to fall in the middle of our outage, so everyone is grasping at straws probably.

Downdetector all red for apple for 4 hours now,
but apple status page is still green lol
Hi there,
We're experiencing this as well, and it's been ongoing for an hour and a half now. Can we get a response from an Apple Rep on whether this is known, being handled, and when we can expect a resolution?
I have raised a case with Apple Developer Program Support.
They didn't have any insight and wanted screenshots etc which I have sent over
Hello again everyone,
I have send a ticket to feedback assistant if you can also add more I hope they will response soon.
