MKReverseGeocoder server returned error: 503

Question

Hi all,

Currently i am developing an iPhone application where i have to show user's current city and location for which i am using Mapkit Framework.When i build the application it works fine and show me the exact city details .But right now when i try to build the application again application shows following error message in my log

/SourceCache/ProtocolBuffer_Sim/ProtocolBuffer-26/Runtime/PBRequester.m:523 server returned error: 503

reverseGeocoder: didFailWithError:Error Domain=PBRequesterErrorDomain Code=6001 "Operation could not be completed. (PBRequesterErrorDomain error 6001.)"

Is any body facing the same issue and how can i resolve it?

Answer 1

I am pretty sure this is happening because you are in testing, and using the reverse geocoder too much and Google's servers know that. So, it has basically blocked you for a while. Try again later and see if it works.

You need to make sure that you are not calling the geocoder more than once every 60 seconds.

Answer 2

Just experienced the same problem: at 8am in UK there was no way to have a google geocoder call to work. It re-started working exactly at 8:12 Greenwich Time.

It happened also last week, with the same restarting time precise at the minute.

Answer 3

The same problem here, at 8:12 Greenwich Time, it starts working.

/SourceCache/ProtocolBuffer_Sim/ProtocolBuffer-26/Runtime/PBRequester.m:523 server returned error: 503
Error Domain=PBRequesterErrorDomain Code=6001 "Operation could not be completed. (PBRequesterErrorDomain error 6001.)"

Has anyone found a workaround? Thanks!
