The News:
Many developers are frustrated by the ever-growing problem with the iCloud server issue that has caused some apps with the iCloud service to not successfully sync.
As mentioned in the Developer Forums and on Twitter, the issue is CloudKit connectivity issues that have been surfacing since November. Users of apps with integrated iCloud support are getting the following error message: "Request failed with HTTP status code 503."
The team behind the popular note-taking application GoodNotes has noticed the issue frequently enough that they created a support guideline for users who are encountering this error.
The GoodNotes team states that the app will automatically try to connect, which is why the issue will be resolved eventually. However, they're not sure why the connection error is occurring at all.
Certain developers have reported that their apps performed without issue for many years prior to the sudden emergence of the server issue, which is reportedly creating an error. For example, a developer posted this on the Apple forums:
"I have the same issue with a relatively small percentage of my users. Last year they didn't get it, but now they are getting 503 errors. My code hasn't changed. I'm not even sure how to file a bug report because I cannot replicate the issue on my devices. And it's occurring on a relatively small percentage of my users."
A few developers have managed to receive assistance with assistance from Apple engineering.
For example, one was able to modify the iCloud Container for their Developer account in order to resolve the issue. However, many developers are still experiencing difficulties.
Others have tried developing an iCloud status dashboard in their applications so that customers can know when iCloud isn't working.
iCloud malfunctions can be a big issue for app developers due to the fact that users of the app do not know the problem is an Apple issue, which is why customers blame the app's developers for not working a sync feature they don't have any control over.
Many developers have reported Numerous developers have said the iCloud problem with syncing to Apple.
However, the issue is still unresolved based on the volume of complaints and also how the situation has continued to persist for at least the past few months. It's likely that the issue was discovered with the release of iOS 15 as well as its sister updates, but it's not yet clear when a fix may be in the works.
