Earlier today, there was scheduled maintenance according to the Apple Developer system status page: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

Since that maintenance, Expo's eas build service has been failing. When attempting to sign into my Apple Developer account, I get the following message:

Authentication with Apple Developer Portal failed!
Apple provided the following error info:
Service not available because of maintenance activities, please try again after some time.

It appears that there are quite a few others having this same issue based on discussion on Expo's Discord server. Was this due to an update to the App Store Connect API during today's schedule maintenance? Is anyone at Apple looking at this issue? Any suggested fixes?

The Expo team released a fix via the EAS CLI. You’ll need to update to the latest:

npm install -g eas-cli

This should be the close of this issue for now.

I am getting the same error, I haven't found any solution or work around yet. Where do you see the maintenance status? Or do you have a link to it?

Apple status: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ Several items including "Account" are marked with "Completed Maintenance". You can click on those to get more status info. The status info currently says that maintenance is complete but that appears to be incorrect. Expo status: https://status.expo.dev/ The Expo team is currently saying "We do not have additional news or information on when this maintenance will be done"

Hi! I think I found a solution.. so when you run eas build it asks you if you want to log in to your account. I usually choose yes but this time I used no and the build was successfully uploaded and it seems to be working fine. Hope this helps :)

Same issue this morning. That makes it almost 3 days with out even a whisper from Apple. I sent a bug report but it will be at least 1-2 days before I hear back.

This along with the recent WeatherKit issues (and lack or response or help) has made my dive into mobile development extremely frustrating and painted Apple in a bad light. What the hell are we paying our yearly fees for?! It sure aint for developer support or reliable services...

Work around I found for this is to choose no for the login prompt in EAS build. Then downloading that IPA from builds section in your Expo account. And uploading that IPA through Transporter app.

Same issue, more than 30 hours now.

Answer 25

gr4h4m OP

The latest fix from all of the above discussion is to use this command eas build --profile production --local and say no to the "want to log in to your Apple account" question. You will then need to upload your .ipa manually. If you run into problems (e.g. if fastlane fails), you can try again without the --local flag.

If you want to do a development build instead of a production build, you will need to download your distribution certificate and provisioning profile from the expo site (Project > Credentials > iOS > Application Identifier) and place those details in a credentials.json file (see https://docs.expo.dev/app-signing/local-credentials/).
