Tech giant Apple has likely fixed an ongoing iCloud server issue that was causing some apps that have implemented iCloud support to fail to sync properly. The bug has persisted since November, and app developers were becoming increasingly upset with Apple’s lack of effort to address the problem, reports AppleInsider. Users of apps with iCloud issues were seeing 503 error messages such as “Request failed with http status code 503,” but multiple developers have confirmed that the error messages appear to have gone away throughout the last couple of days.

Tweetbot developer Paul Haddad said that he has received “basically 0” iCloud Sync reports over the past couple days, and Craig Grannell, who wrote about the iCloud problems, said that he is no longer seeing issues with the Cloud Battery or Transloader apps he uses.
Although most developers say that the synchronization problem has been basically resolved, there are still some complaints about related issues, so Apple may still have some issues to resolve.
