Hi Apple Team and Community,
We've encountered a sudden and widespread failure with the App Attest service starting today across multiple production apps and regions. The previously working implementation is now consistently returning the following error on iOS:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.devicecheck.error error 4.) (serverUnavailable)
Despite the green status on Apple’s System Status page, this appears to be a backend issue—possibly infrastructure or DNS-related.
Notably:
The issue affects multiple apps.
It is reproducible across different geographies.
No code changes were made recently to the attestation logic.
We previously reported a similar concern in this thread: App Attest Attestation Failing, but this new occurrence seems unrelated to any client-side cause.
Update:
An Apple engineer in this thread(https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/782987) confirmed that the issue was due to a temporary DNS problem and has now been resolved.
Can anyone else confirm seeing this today? Any insights from Apple would be appreciated to ensure continued stability.
Thanks!
