I'm Getting a "Podcast artwork must be between 1400 x 1400 and 3000 x 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests."

I'm using amazon s3 to store the audio and png image and not getting an HTTP error for the audio file.


Image


To my knowledge, the image is within parameters for apple (1600 x 1600 371.4kb) and the access I have given to the image is open to be read by anyone, the same with the audio.

I am confused why it cannot validate the image while it is validating the audio file and they have the same access from amazon. This leads me to believe there are either more requirements apple does not clarify for their image data or their metadata retrieval is so precise for something they do not mention because the validation works on Spotify, so I know the RSS Feed I have written works. Asking if anyone knows any more details on how apple seems to scrape their metadata from RSS feeds or if there are permissions disabling access on the amazon side of things that are somehow specific to images. An issue with amazon seems highly unlikely to me because no such error message occurs for the audio i.e. amazon s3 allows for HTTP head requests. Really scratching my head at this because apple doesn't offer anything in their RSS Feed documentation that one would need to do to ensure they can read the data when everyone else seems to read the RSS just fine.
