The "Search for Developers" website (https://developer.apple.com/ios/search/) references the App Search API Validation Tool located at https://developer.apple.com/ios/search/. Clicking the link returns an SSL error. The entire subdomain returns this same error (https://search.developer.apple.com).

I reported it through Apple's developer feedback, who told me to file a Radar. I filed a Radar and it came back as "could not reproduce."

Can anyone else confirm that this site won't load? Perhaps Apple doesn't experience the SSL issue from within its own network?

I need to use the validator!

We're aware of the issue and working to get it back up and running. I don't have an ETA.

@KMT: this is no such thing. It's just down. 😉

Thanks Quinn. It's definitely better now - but I'm not convinced the universal links validator is working.

Even on sites that I'm 99% certain have working deep/universal links, it's returning "Could not extract required information for application links." - eg. https://www.ebay.co.uk/ and https://basecamp.com/

There's definitely a valid looking file at https://www.ebay.co.uk/.well-known/apple-app-site-association

Any ideas?

Yeah, I see similar results. I’ve filed a new bug about this (r. 35024859).

I noticed that https://search.developer.apple.com/appsearch-validation-tool/ doesn't direct to a validation tool anymore?
