Hi!
Basically i have a Digital Ocean droplet running a jenkins docker image in which i have installed fastlane https://fastlane.tools and create a job to automatically upload metadata to iTunes through fastlane deliver.
The problem is for some reason, sometimes, i have a bad response from iTunes API. The same code running couple days ago works fine in the same Digital Ocean server. Now i try in AWS ec2 and in my local machine and everything works fine. So, i think Apple in some way is blocking my Digital Ocean server traffic.
I have the same problem as this guy posted in fastlane github https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/issues/14602
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks!!

I hope you’ve already sorted this.
From what I can understand the issue you’re experienced is inconsistent. What you do when the issue is present is to test the connection to iTunes API using traceroute.
There are a lot of sites from where you can perform traceroute, but you can also do this on your own PC:
Run traceroute on Linux Open a terminal window. At the command line prompt, type: For IPv4 -
Run traceroute on Windows Open the Start menu. Click Run. To open the command line interface, type cmd and then click OK. At the command line prompt, type: For IPv4 -
You can check for packet loss and if you’re actually able to get to the last hop - iTunes API.
Apple may be block traffic coming from DigitalOcean, but I guess only their support team can confirm this.
