![]() This story originally appeared on Ars Technica. We have reached out to Apple for comment and will share any statement if we receive one. We have reported this issue to Apple (FB9055615) and we are currently awaiting a response. The situation lasted for several minutes, and while some temporary workarounds circulated on forums, chat rooms, and Twitter, the problem behavior eventually cleared as Apple presumably resolved the underlying issue.Īpple had previously announced that Big Sur would launch Thursday, and the problems began almost precisely in time with the rollout. In the current shipping version of macOS Big Sur (11.3.1, and 11.4 Beta 3), Apples ASR utility can copy from the Apple Fabric storage in an Apple Silicon Mac, but it causes a kernel panic when cloning to Apple Fabric storage. This is possibly because everyone's device could still do a DNS lookup on without any problems, leading the devices to believe that if they could do a DNS lookup, they should be able to connect to the OCSP service. However, due to the nature of whatever happened today, calls to the server appeared to simply hang instead of soft-failing. When an Apple device can't connect to the network but you want to launch an app anyway, the notarization validation is supposed to "soft fail"-that is, your Apple device is supposed to recognize that you're not online and allow the app to launch anyway. The "OCSP" part of the host name refers to Online Certificate Status Protocol stapling, or just "certificate stapling." Apple uses certificate stapling to help streamline the process of having millions of Apple devices checking the validity of millions and millions of certificates every day. ![]()
