## Updates from RevenueCat
### 2026-10-21 12:51 UTC: investigating
We are seeing elevated errors when validating purchases made in Apple's sandbox environment, including TestFlight builds. Since about 06:00 UTC, most sandbox purchases and restores on iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms are failing to validate, so test purchases may not unlock entitlements. Purchases made with real money in production apps are not affected.

### 2026-10-21 16:12 UTC: resolved
The incident has been resolved. Apple Sandbox App Store API is correctly processing requests.

From the builder: does your app depend on RevenueCat? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=revenuecat) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention RevenueCat.
