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.

Description
Please describe the issue and what steps we can take to reproduce it:
Hello, We are validating receipts from https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt for now we are getting response as timeout or ssl exception. Issue started 24.01.2020 15.10 GMT +3 Thank you
Happening here, too. Ongoing for nearly 4 hours now. Had to scramble this morning to get some patches in to mitigate this disaster for our users. Has anyone heard anything from Apple yet?
Not marked green anymore, for whatever that's worth. Did anyone have a specific IP address for the endpoint that was still working? I did a scan through some of them and didn't find a working one.
Having the same issue in UK since around 12:00. Getting SSL errors and HTML responses coming through instead of the expected JSON response
Same; first occurrence at 2020-01-24 14:23 UTC
Failing for us too. https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt is returning HTML
I called support but they were of no help. Their system status does show now that there is an ongoing issue for the "App Store" but nothing beyond that :-(
It looks like the Apple System Status is back to Green (and was briefly marked "Resolved"). That said, we're still definitely experiencing the issue.
We have been experiencing this problem for the past 4 hours.. I tried reporting it to Apple Support via phone but was not successful.
Still broken when it resolves to the 17.120.254.x range, but working if it resolves to the 17.173.66.x or 17.42.254.x ranges.
Same error
"Connecting to the iTunes Store" HTML responses.
Receipt verification failed: jsonDecodeError
Can confirm that we are still experiencing the issue on all our games.
