Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

RevenueCat experienced a 10.8-hour major incident where Apple's Receipt Server was unavailable, preventing purchase validation. During the outage, RevenueCat mitigated the impact by granting users short-term temporary entitlements (up to 24 hours) to maintain access. Once Apple's services recovered, all affected purchases were replayed and converted to verified entitlements, with associated webhook and integration events processed to close out the incident.

We are investigating errors with Apple's services. We have enabled a temporary fallback mechanism that should provide limited functionality.

All the impacted purchases have been replayed.

MONITORING 4 days ago - at 07/27/2026 06:21AM

We are continuing to replay impacted receipts. This does not impact customers that made purchases during the outage window as the temporary entitlement granted by RevenueCat will ensure a seamless transition.

This incident will be closed out once all the purchases have been replayed.

Apple's Receipt Server is back up

We're replaying purchases

Temporary entitlements will either turn into 'real' purchases, or will expire, and related webhook and intergation events for the duration of the outage will start coming through

We're monitoring the Receipt Server for recovery

Because we're unable to validate new purchases with the store, we're granting new users a short-term entitlement (at most 24 hours). This prevents customers from being denied access during exceptional situations, such as partial app store outages

After connectivity is restored, if validation succeeds, expect a regular initial purchase. If validation fails, the temporary entitlements will expire

IDENTIFIED 5 days ago - at 07/27/2026 12:06AM

Apple have acknowledged problems with multiple services. We will keep granting short-lived, temporary entitlements until the problem is resolved. Once the error rate returns to normal, we will disable this mitigation and revalidate the affected purchases.
