App Submission API: replace apk endpoint returns "Maintenance" html

Amazon Appstore Q&A
1

Hey, Amazon team

Trying to use Submission API to replace APK in edit. Call takes significant time and then server responds with weird HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <title>Scheduled Maintenance</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/mobile-apps/devportal2/res/css/reset.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/mobile-apps/devportal2/res/css/main.css">
</head>

<body>
    <div class="container"><a id="logo" href="/"><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/mobile-apps/devportal2/res/images/logo-dp.png" /></a>
        <div class="system-error">
            <h1 class="primary">Scheduled Maintenance</h1>
            <p>We are currently working to improve your experience.</p>

It worked about a month ago, so the logic is correct. App ID is amzn1.devportal.mobileapp.e5e1a352840848079375736a33c8cae0

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It appears this was a temporary issue and has since been resolved. Could you please try again and let us know if the problem persists?

Hi Emma,

Our team is experiencing a timeout error for apk replace as well. This has been going on for about a week now. This is the error: “replace_apk’: [!] Net::ReadTimeout (StandardError)” It has been working for us for multiple years. I think this may be due to the really long validation period the apk goes through at upload. Is there any information on this new issue? Thanks.
