Apple Has Fixed The App Store Bug That Has Been Crashing Your Apps


If you’ve been trying to update your iOS apps and games over the last 24-48 hours and found that they’ve gone over all crashtacular, it’s because of a bug in the way the App Store pushed DRM to its apps.

Apple told AllThingsD this morning that all is now well after working round the clock to fix the slightly embarrassing issue.

We had a temporary issue that began yesterday with a server that generated DRM code for some apps being downloaded…the issue has been rectified and we don’t expect it to occur again.”

If you’ve got apps that were affected by the bug, it’s probably a good idea to go and re-download them to fix any lingering problems. [AllThingsD]
