Apple Tells Developers iCloud Sync Bug is Fixed

Wednesday January 26, 2022. 09:47 PM , from TheMacObserver
News broke recently about a bug plaguing apps using iCloud Sync services. Developers, unhappy with Apple’s lack of public acknowledgment of the issue, took to Twitter in order to get the word out. On January 26, developers returned to social media to report Apple has claimed the iCloud sync bug squished.
iCloud Sync Bug Caused App Failures
The problem’s been ongoing since November 2021, and has caused developers all kinds of headaches. App users would see HTTP 503 errors, which tells the average person exactly nothing. (It’s a “Service Unavailable” message, if you’re curious.)
Some developers began “baking in” their own ways around the bug. For example, Iconfactory updated Tot to perform its own local backups automatically.
Apple Says It Fixed the Bug
As noted by MacRumors, the Cupertino-based company has begun telling developers the 503 errors are resolved. Apple emailed YarnBuddy developer Becky Hansmeyer, for example, to let her know the it resolved the problem.

Regarding the recent iCloud sync issue, I received a very kind and detailed response from Apple indicating that the underlying issue causing the 503 errors/sync failures has been fixed!
