Resolved MajorIncident Report
Summary AI Generated
Apple's sandbox environment experienced a major outage from approximately 06:00 UTC, causing most test purchases and restores to fail validation across iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms, meaning sandbox entitlements were not being unlocked. Only the Apple Sandbox Receipt Server was affected; production purchases with real money remained fully operational. The incident lasted roughly 3.4 hours and was resolved at 16:12 UTC when Apple's Sandbox App Store API resumed processing requests normally.
We are seeing elevated errors when validating purchases made in Apple's sandbox environment, including TestFlight builds. Since about 06:00 UTC, most sandbox purchases and restores on iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms are failing to validate, so test purchases may not unlock entitlements.
