App Updates - broken

[Jakimo]

iOS 26 App Store updates are in a loop for me

Seems random. One app I just removed. eBay and Tesla are stuck

Stable iOS 26.5, coming back to Dev 26.6 for hopeful fix. Can't shake it

Hard reset, delete apps and reinstall, sign out and back in to Apple account, everything short of resetting iPhone entirely.. and a few apps perpetually report they need to be updated when checking for new updates - when they are already up to date

Anyone figure out a resolve on this?

Just periodically try. Mine did that and eventually updated.

How long ago did this happen, if I may ask? And how long until it resolved itself?

I've only come across this a few days ago, never seen it happen before..

 

[kissfan]

A couple of days ago. They finally updated successfully the next day. Give it some time.

Yeah seeing the same thing here, across multiple devices. Does not affect all apps, maybe 10% of them but eBay, ESPN Cricinfo, DoorDash won’t update. eBay hasn’t wanted to update for about 24hrs now.

And Tesla

Same issue with my iPhone and iPad. EBay and PC Financial apps are doing this update loop. I’ve also tried uninstalling the apps, logging out, and restarting but it hasn’t fixed the issue.

I'm suspicious that this is an internal App store problem, as I've verified the same behavior both on the current stable iOS and the dev beta iOS - so the new iOS 27 update later today may not touch the problem either. We'll see..

Another possibility… if the update bundle didn’t put the correct version in the files, it would always think it’s the wrong version and try to update.

Strange that recently a few apps are doing so the last few days, as I've never seen the behavior before

So you think the glitch is based on faulty app update submissions to the App Store?

Problems Updating Apps - Edit: App Store Outage (Fixed Now)

EDIT: Was a short App Store Outage - fixed now. (2:00PM Pacific) Original Post: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anyone else having problems updating apps on their iPhone? I have a 17 Pro Max. Started noticing this today - App Store --> Click Name Top...

Sounds similar to the problem I was having last week. Update was there, I'd click update, it would spin, then still say it needed to be updated.

My problem went away that same day but sounds very similar to yours.

eBay app has been acting up for me for days. Even deleting the app and adding it back again didn't fix it.

No idea… just a theory.

Had it last week with SoundCloud. That’s OK now. Today it’s eBay acting up.

Apple's software team is incompetent at all levels! I'm having the same issue and this is pathetic for a trillion dollar company.
