Inconsistent 503 Errors

[yachtwave]

I installed Sentry in my React Native app. It sends an error log anytime an HTTPS call receives a 503 response. I now see random and inconsistent 503 errors when [react-native-store-version] checks for an updated version. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

Here is a public link to the Sentry entry.

Here is more detail from Sentry:

Same issue. So I had to wrap it with try and skip checking store version to avoid this exception.

I see a lot of 503 errors in Sentry with this package and the URL: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup. Is Apple against using this URL for this purpose and prefers that the Apple Store API be used instead?
