Developers want to know from Apple if an iCloud issue will finally be fixed

This has begun to be known as the 503 error - where iCloud syncing isn’t working properly.This would have been fine for users and developers if this had been an issue for a few days or a week, but it’s seemingly been since last summer that issues relating to iCloud have remained.It’s now at the point where developers are venting their frustrations as to whether this issue will be resolved for their apps, and for users.A Twitter thread on January 25 by Becky Hansmeyer, developer of YarnBuddy and Scribblet, wanted to see if there was another way of reporting the issue to Apple. Hopefully, it’s something Apple can fix soon, and I can turn it back on again then.”Looking through the Twitter thread of other experiences from developers, you can place the issue back to when Apple’s software updates were heading toward their final release, just before the iPhone 13 series were announced at September’s event.When major software releases are pushed out, you can assume services that are hidden to users, are also updated, so that they can work with the new features that have been announced and implemented.But considering that this is four months since the release of iOS 15 and the other software updates, with no context for developers as to what the issue actually is, and when it will be fixed, is bringing unnecessary frustrations to Apple.We’ve reached out to Apple for comment as to whether the 503 issue is in the process of being fixed.Daryl had been freelancing for 3 years before joining TechRadar, now reporting on everything software-related.
