Hello everyone. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue but on my iPhone when i try and search for apps it keeps saying "The App Store is temporarily unavailable. Try again later"

It's been like this all day. I can still download apps if I go through featured or categories but I just can't search for anything.

That happened to me earlier. I didn't do anything special though. I just waited a bit, and it cleared up by itself.

So I was on the call with Apple Support and right before my case was escalated further up the chain they asked me to do a complete restore and set up as new without using my backup.

It worked...
