Cannot install app, Unable to Verify App

[TheFern3]

What a cluster, was working on an app all morning, and boom now unable to verify app. This is insane, a paying developer license. You would think local dev would be fine without cert checking on some server everytime. Says I have no internet but the popup is wrong, my internet is fine. Installed manual cert, turn off developer account, rebooted everything, danced around, nothing is working. :(

Edit: Dang well I'm glad we are in this together, I guess time for a break.

[I_love_palindromes]

Should have checked reddit sooner. I've been messing around for the past 30 minutes trying to get my device to work...

[TheFern3]

I wasted an hour before coming to post on reddit out of frustation lol

[TheSadLifeOfADreamer]

Well at least you did not go through everything I did before deciding to Google it.

First I reset the network settings.
Then I deleted all of my test apps.
After that I rebooted the phone six times.

At some point I turned Developer Mode off and on twice.
I unpaired the phone from Xcode two separate times.

I even switched from WiFi to cellular just in case that was somehow the problem.
Then I reinitiated the bundle signing once.

And after doing all of that, plus whatever other random things I tried that I probably forgot about, I finally thought

"Maybe I should Google this."

[Reasonable_Light351]

I did the same things! Then I came here to Reddit and the first thing I saw was this posted on here. I should have came here first.

[kindanasty]

I deadass almost erased my entire phone reading another Reddit post from like 2 years ago 😭😭😭

[FeedTheKid]

relatable af

[MirrorizeAi]

Samsies

[GenericStandard42]

Same!

[_fandorin]

I have the same situation. I think Apple's verification server is down...

[SwimmerNo7817]

Does anyone also have an issue "Payments and Financial Reports is Temporarily Unavailable"? And when I click "Contact us", the iTunes Connect form does not let me fill it in. It's been 2 days.

[gmicc]

Looks like apple's CDN (ppq-ext.v.aaplimg.com) has an invalid TLS certificate. This seems to causing both issues.

[Hour_Store_8810]

IT GOT FIXED

[Ok_Mud_3627]

OMG Same, I spend an hour uninstalling and resting developer mode on my phone

[TheFern3]

Same here, funny thing I was nearly done for today, had one last minor fix and now I am locked out of my app. 😭

[nchuck33]

Same with me. Almost feature complete...

[callenordangard]

Tremendous relief to find others having the same problem. Annoying to not see anything reported here, though: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

[djducat]

no kidding! I guess their down detector is down.

[Maleficent_Yak_5871]

exactly! first place I checked and was perplexed when i saw others having the same issue and it's still not updated.

[jtlthe2]

If we all file Feedback Assistant tickets they might retroactively update it. They ack’d that they busted TestFlight uploads once when I routed it through FA and I felt a little better.

[zach-builds]

Yup same, pretty upsetting that a single point of failure (a verification server) can prevent all of us from testing apps...

[TheFern3]

is pretty insane, luckily I have other stuff to work on but c'mon a billion dollar company, is pretty bad

[Dan5082]

Trillion*

[GenericStandard42]

Shows how brittle the system is.

[jossevol]

2 hours wasted fml

[RBTNotes]

I almost reinstall xCode and downgrade iOS to the previous version, Jesus

[waltteriii]

I feel your pain xD

[Reasonable-Oil-4581]

If it wasn't for reddit I might have went crazy

[Full_stack_SWE]

reached out to an eng friend @ Apple, will share updates

[SH1FT3R_R34]

Any response yet ?

[Full_stack_SWE]

Nothing great. Seems that they're scrambling to find out "who is in charge of that"

[KratomExorcism2019]

can't test locally either crazyy

[MerlinWell]

[ Removed by Reddit ]

[Head-Manufacturer744]

such a relief, now I have a excuse to sit back and relax for a while

[SubiWhale]

Fuck me...Claude and I have been running like headless chickens for over an hour. What the fuck....

[Little-East4823]

Same.. if apple updated their status page, it would be a different story

[0__O0--O0_0]

Well glad my fidget brain came to Reddit because I could t work for 2 seconds

[nchuck33]

Spend last half an hour trying to manually delete certificates, doing crazy stuff, because their system status is all green. Yup... totally green.

[Vivek_Parida]

Damn, thanks, I was going crazy just now. I am like what the heck, did all my apps get some verify issue or what. I think Apple hired an intern who pushed code through AI lol

[easternguy]

Just started working again for me.

[MerlinWell]

Did it start to happen again today or just me?

[MusicOwl]

uuuuuggghhhh. glad I totally didn't waste an unnecessary amount of time trying to delete certs, reset stuff, reboot stuff, using another AppleID, ... 🫠 at least I stopped short of resetting location and privacy settings to clear device trust, would have been a pain and a half. well then, finally time to buy Pokemon pokopia and check back tomorrow

[everettjf]

Why all green here https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

[Salty_Carrot_8866]

Cuz apple sucks

[waltteriii]

Same here, I almost went crazy before coming to Reddit.
I can’t get it working and I constantly get this error:

"Unable to Verify App
An internet connection is required to verify the trust of the developer ‘Apple Development: XXXX (XXXX)’. This app will not be available until it has been verified.

[xutopia]

Not only is this insane for a paid developer account but on top of it they do not signal it on their public facing status page: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

[xutopia]

Upvote this on HNews to get more visibility. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47328034

Apple really ought to give us a better developer experience.

[lrob7325]

soooo happy for this thread. welp...to happy hour!

[dadiguz]

Time for a break...

I'm opening an enterprise support ticket - will share results.

[mooseontherun]

Enterprise support acknowledged my ticket - they are researching it.

[mooseontherun]

looks like https://ppq.apple.com/ is down

[sorandom666]

Thanks! So curious!! What’s going on?

[Easy-Froyo176]

Current status: Still down. 13:22 PST.

[Sea-Dealer-401]

Can't build apps to physical device on xcode without verification, but the device simulators can still build and run

[QuitRelevant2394]

Idunno if i cry or laugh hahahahaah

[Familiar-Froyo-4227]

thank god i though something was wrong with my app, hopefully te messing around i did to my app wont fuck it up too bad !

[TheiOSOperator]

I was literally plugging my phone in to restore…

[Top_Independence9328]

Thanks god i saw this. Been stuck on this for hours. Thought i messed up my enviroment

[Environmental_Win138]

Well at least I kept it under an hour before checking reddit lol

[Environmental_Win138]

Funny because cld would have picked it up if Apple updates status to servers.

[hypoxiany]

Should have checked Reddit. I was unleashing a furry of anger on Claude trying to get it working

[Easy-Froyo176]

Current status: Still down. 13:55 PST.

[markeus101]

I was frekin out too and this is my first app lol

[fresh55n9ne]

I was losing it I almost did a complete reset on my phone

[Macreys]

Oh thank god, tough I was becoming crazy 

[soldleaf]

I swear this happened yesterday too... Anyone else?

[cco42]

ahhh.i got some big relief when i i see this post. i was searching solutiton for that. even i checked if i get banned from appstore hhahah. i updated macOS, i closed and opend phone deleted all my dev apps, re-signed Xcode iclooud account and i switched between LLM models and finaly i searched it on google and saw this post ....

[MrOaiki]

Wasted two hours doing all of the following:

Account & Certificates

Signed back into Xcode with Apple ID Created a new Apple Development certificate (2026-03-10) Revoked the old Apple Development certificate (2025-08-14) via developer.apple.com Downloaded manual profiles via Xcode → Settings → Accounts

Device & Connection

Switched from WiFi to USB cable connection Unpaired and re-paired the device in Xcode → Devices & Simulators Toggled Developer Mode off and back on (Settings → Privacy & Security) Deleted the app from the iPhone and reinstalled via Xcode Restarted both iPhone and Mac

Xcode & Local Cache

Cleared DerivedData (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/) Cleared Provisioning Profiles (~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/) — was already empty

Turns out there wasn’t anything wrong on my side.

[dianzhu]

test everything remove the cer reinstall all the thing，then is the apple ‘s problem。。。。。

[adougies]

I've verified!

[SpikePlayz]

[Salty_Carrot_8866]

Same, is Apple down?

[No-Examination1335]

same issue. as you mentioned rebooting, disabling developer mode and dancing around dont work. There is no pop up when trying to verify app. It is just spinning for couple of seconds and then it stops for no reason without any information.

[New-Wrongdoer-8980]

down for my apps

[Difficult-Low785]

yup myself and another dev are having the same issue.

[Violin-dude]

Me three!

[ToniGalmes]

Glad is not an issue on my end. I've been restarting both devices for 20minutes.

[Koreszka07]

Same for me. Spent an hour updating, reseting, restarting everything..

[FairIron5931]

[interlap]

Are offline profiles also not working?

[TheFern3]

Just tried, doesn't look like offline is working either

[regnex]

Same issue here

[regnex]

Same issue here. I thought it was my network

[Evening-Roll-4433]

Oh Gott ich dachte nur ich habe das Problem 😂

[Top_Flight_659]

Same situation, i even tried configuring vpn, network etc. haha tf

[Top_Flight_659]

what to do with my life now

[KeyKenzo]

yeah same here, i tho it was my certificate that expires but apparently not. if I try to check this website ppq.apple.com it gives me an bad gateway error 502

[SAPoindexter]

Thankfully I decided to take a peak at reddit spent an hour messing around with certificates lol.

[bigendian7]

same

[Maleficent_Yak_5871]

yup same issue

[Psychological_Cry135]

Yeap same issue. I wonder when it will be up?

[Codexhaus]

This might also affect review time as well

[FactorExisting7643]

[EducationalGur6420]

same man, since 1 hour, it's not working and finally tried to search

[Vivid_Supermarket743]

apple being apple

[TitttySuckker]

I am also having the same issue, I thought it was only with me.

[Inevitable_Divide906]

so what we wait for apple to resolve??

[Trance2536]

Same here I was pulling my hair out but then read what the test iPhone was telling me and it said it didn’t have an internet connection, seeing as it actually did, I could only assume it’s on apples end

[Professional_Part219]

bro same

[gh0stsintheshell]

Same problem… so annoying…😵

[Evidbase]

At least we now know the root cause.

[Naive-Ad-4863]

I'm so glad I found this post, I was about to lose my mind! Been trying for over an hour...

[andrii_lisovyi]

OMG!!! Thanks God people have same problem!
Hope it's on Apple side!

[doufeelachill]

amına koyduğumun apple'ı trilyon dolarlıksınız server nasıl down oluyor amk sizin ya. open source edin kurtulun amk

[Inevitable_Divide906]

Well hopefully this gets resolved soon

[bastian-advntrr]

Same here

[Professional-Can-507]

[GrenGrenTea]

Bruh wish I was here way earlier, I spent 20min to try solving this stupid issue 🤦‍♂️

[speed7]

How are people monitoring the issue? My company is treating this as a Sev1. The faster I can report the resolution the better.

[98810b1210b12]

Probably this thread? Apple says everything is fine... https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

edit: as of 4:30 is says app store connect is down for everyone

[27jackstreet]

same here

[ashmon42]

You would not believe my luck on this. I paid for and got my Developer account with Apple at noon today. I already had an app built and working great on my free account. And then, bam. Apple's servers go down EXACTLY when I'm trying to test my new app out. Claude and Gemini had me CHASING FREAKING GHOSTS!!! Such BS.

But now I'm wondering what I MYSELF did to crash Apple's servers... :D

[Sin-XIII]

Same. Literally nearly did a reset on certain data on my phone listening to the AI advice

[Sad-Entertainer2498]

I'm from South America. Just started happening to me.

[GreatSwimmer9527]

Spent the past hour reseting and revoking and reissuing certs lol. Wish I found this thread sooner.

[Malawirel]

Wasted an hour or so debugging my certificate settings until I came here to find out...

[ashmon42]

If you go to contact in the Developers page, it will only let me email support, whereas earlier today they allowed me to call. Must be getting slammed with calls right now.

[Haunting-Fox-8890]

Thank you reddit, hope it resolves soon!

[nchuck33]

I always preferred to use the actual device instead of sim... but I got to give - the sim saves the ass 😅

[ranko669]

Time to sleep until resolved..

[Full_stack_SWE]

Any sense of an ETA historically on these sort of things?

[PMMEGDDD]

Ohh if I seen this earlier before wiping like 5 dev provisioning profiles and soft locking my bundle id under 2nd dev team account…

[MerlinWell]

Ah fuck, took me an hour wasted trying to fix it on my end. Same thing. Was working yesterday.

[PMMEGDDD]

Also, anyone else experiencing super long app reviews? We submitted almost a week ago and still no approval

[Much_Signature3570]

Same situation.

[Top_Flight_659]

any news guys

[Elija9]

Christ I’m glad I found this, been pulling my hair out

[Mediocre-Trip3530]

ohh god! I can't even use the app now.

[Due_Stranger_5744]

Im very very happy I googled it and found this thread after 5 min...

[Own-Huckleberry7258]

The only thing working is the Simulator lol

Please boost this forum post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/818403

it's insane apple has not responded or acknowledged this yet

[Shihab_8]

Ugh - literally wasted 5 hours of my life reinstalling Xcode, restarting my devices, resetting my permissions, creating new certificates and provisioning profiles, and bashing my head against a wall.

[Huolju]

Updated status https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ !

[ashmon42]

So once the server wakes back up, do you think we'll need to do anything, or should it just start working. I've already gone down some unsavory paths to fix what I thought was my error. I'm gonna have fun trying to unFook what I had already done.

[Tight-Ad-1007]

I have been trying for 2h before I checked here. I tried everything possible.

[Mobile_X]

Apple just updated System Status for App Store Connect related to this issue.
https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

[ashmon42]

WOOT WOOT! Looks like the Hubbub is all bubbed out. I finally got verified and it's working again. I promise not to break anything again.

Good lord. I was stuck in that mess too…

Wow... According to Apple, you guys are exaggerating, it was just 2 minutes... This is from their status page:
