ppq.apple.com returning 502 Bad Gateway - Unable to verify developer apps on device

Since this evening (March 10, 2026), I'm unable to launch any developer-signed app on my physical device (iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 beta 23E5223k). The error is:

"Unable to launch [app] because it has an invalid code signature, inadequate entitlements or its profile has not been explicitly trusted by the user."

On the device itself, it shows: "Unable to Verify App - An internet connection is required to verify the trust of the developer."

What I've tried:

  • Created a new Apple Development certificate
  • Deleted and reinstalled the app
  • Restarted the device
  • Tested on both Wi-Fi and cellular
  • Confirmed Developer Mode is enabled
  • Removed all third-party CA certificates from the device
  • Verified the code signature is valid (codesign -dv shows correct Authority chain)

The root cause:
https://ppq.apple.com is currently returning 502 Bad Gateway. I confirmed this both from my Mac (curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://ppq.apple.com → 502) and from Safari on the device.

This affects all developer-signed apps, not just a specific project.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there an ETA for the fix?

Environment:

  • Xcode 26.3 (17C519)
  • macOS 26.3.1 (25D2128)
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 (23E5223k)

Same here guys. How to fix it bros.

Same here. Thought it was related to updating to 26.3.1 last night but I guess not?

Same here on latest public beta as well

Same issue here :(

Started about ~2 hours ago for me.

Same here, not able to run Firebase AdHoc apps as well as xcode builds on my device

Same thing here. It's been happening since abuot 10AM PT for me on 3/10/2026

same here

I was about to go mad.. Tried manually installing the certificate, rebuilding the app, changing teams - nothing worked.

Glad I'm not alone, hopefully apple solves this quickly.

Same thing

I have the same problem - nothing showing on the Service Status page though

https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

  1. At least Mac Catalyst app dev still works.

  2. I did essentially all you did except probing https://ppq.apple.com. How did you know about that?

Somehow chatgpt and claude know about ppq... but same boat here. Not working... but failing faster without any messages

Same here

By the way guys if you are chillin out here, have you seen new Ferrari's presentation with the Jony Ive? Do you agree Jony brings back those wow product vibes again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhVjIw9cv_4

Same issue here as of 2pm eastern time on march 10 2026
