Resolving Apple ID Authentication Issues: Troubleshooting the 503 Service Unavailable Error | Fastlane Login Issue
Understanding the 503 Service Unavailable Error
When you encounter the message ‘503 Service Temporarily Unavailable,’ it can be quite confusing, especially when you’re trying to log into your Apple ID using various Fastlane modules. This error indicates that the server is currently unable to handle the request, usually due to maintenance or overloading. Understanding this can help you remain patient while troubleshooting.
Issue Description
get_certificates aborts with:
<head><title>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</h1></center>
<hr><center>Apple</center>
</body>

Command executed
The problem seems to be related to the url:
fetch('https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth/signin', {
"headers": {
"content-type": "application/json",
'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest',
'X-Apple-Widget-Key': 'e0b80c3bf78523bfe80974d320935bfa30add02e1bff88ec2166c6bd5a706c42',
'scnt':SCNT,
'X-APPLE-HC:HC,
'X-Apple-ID-Session-id,
'Accept': 'application/json, text/javascript'
},
"method": "POST",
"body": "{\"accountName\":\"" + username + "\",\"rememberMe\":false,\"password\":\"" + password + "\"}",
Apple now seems to be using a slightly different url
https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth/signin/completeand also the POST body has changed to:
{"accountName":"foo@bar.com","rememberMe":false, "m1":"xxx","c":"yyy","m2":"zzz"}where xxx,yyy,zzz seem to be randomly changing.
Actually, I could verify that 2 things currently do not work anymore:
a) Authenticating with username/password to trigger the 2FA process (to then use hashCash to generate the DES cookie)
b) using an actual valid DES cookie for authentication.
