Answer 1

I was having the same issue (Australian App Store) and today things seem to have gone back to normal, but the behaviour is slightly different from before.

This has now worked for me:
- Created a new Sandbox user on iTunes Connect.
- Followed the link in the email sent to verify the email address.
- In the app, when interacting with StoreKit, the app will then ask for the App Store credentials. Enter the username and password.
- The "Apple ID Verification" alert will pop up. Tap "Settings".
- Change the password as instructed.
- In the app, repeat the operation that interacts with StoreKit. This should now work correctly.
