Apple’s App Stores couldn’t install new apps during a brief outage

Apple has resolved an issue preventing users on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac from downloading apps from the App Store.

When users pressed the “Get” button to install an app during the outage, the icon swirled briefly to indicate that it was loading. However, it then would revert to “Get,” leaving users unable to install the app they wanted. The install button seems to be working normally now.

Even though there were issues downloading apps, the App Store could still update previously installed apps. The Verge reached out to Apple with a request for more information about the outage but didn’t immediately hear back.

Update, October 16th: Updated to note that the App Store outage is fixed.
