Rogue Apple server corrupts Angry Birds Space and other apps
Apple has blamed a rogue App Store server for making more than 100 apps unusable, including Angry Birds Space, after iPhone and iPad users updated them.
According to Apple, the server wrongly included a digital rights management (DRM) code, which made it impossible to open them. But the company said the problem had been fixed.
Apple normally uses DRM to ensure that apps work only for users who have paid for them or are authorised to use them, according to the Telegraph. The problem was discovered by Marco Arment, who developed Instapaper, an app for aggregating and displaying online articles.
