Error Handling

Apple API Errors

Should an error be reported by the Apple API service, the library will raise a custom error class that will correspond to the Apple error code like so:

AppleVPP::Error::Code#{error_code}

A message will also be provided with the error.

503 Service Unavailable Errors

The Apple API service may return a 503 Service Unavailable error if the service is overwhelmed or if your client is being too aggressive. In this scenario, apple_vpp will raise AppleVPP::Error::ServiceUnavailable. The raised error will include a method .retry_in_seconds which returns an integer value, in seconds, of how long you should wait before retrying your request. The raw Retry-After header that Apple returns is also available via .retry_after.
