The App Store offers a myriad of paid and free apps. For iOS, macOS and iPadOS users, it’s impossible to do without the Apple brand’s store… except when they have no choice, as was the case for a few hours this Wednesday, at the end of the day. Many people report not having been able to download any application from the App Store for a while, but the situation returned to normal shortly after.
The App Store was down for a handful of hours, but everything is back to normal
On Wednesday, October 16, at the end of the day, many concerned testimonials from iPhone, iPad and Mac users began to flood into X. ” Anyone else having issues with the App Store? It won’t let me download new apps and won’t load my list of previously purchased apps », Explains one of them.
During the App Store outage, when clicking the download button for an app, the icon would spin briefly to indicate that it was about to launch. However, it then reverted to the previous status rather than proceeding with the installation. Updating applications already installed on a device also did not work during this period. A few hours later, everything finally returned to normal, even before Apple spoke publicly to discuss the incident.
So you can install apps from the App Store without any problem on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. The Verge indicates that it questioned the Apple brand about the nature of the failure, in vain. This isn’t the first time the app store hasn’t worked properly for a short time and probably not the last. Remember that the App Store will soon classify 17+ applications into 18+ to adapt to French legislation.
