Does this mean you normally can't ever use 3rd-party apps in airplane mode? Because that is definitely not the case for me.

The apps authorization to run has been revoked. So now it has to connect to whatever is down to be re-authorized. That is the problem.

I see. So if it tries to run and gets revoked, you're screwed until Apple comes back up. But in theory, if you had been in airplane mode the whole time this incident has been going on, you'd be fine?

same case happened to me once when I'm on a 13hr flight in Jan. Simply all non-stock apps doesn't work anymore, and back to normal when I landed and connected to Internet.
