Setting up custom email domain stuck in "verifying your domain" for more than 24 hours, with no indication of progress or error

finally solved.

I removed absolutely all dns records from domain and started again and it got added right away. than I added back other records to that i needed.

Hi arnq,

In following the steps in Add a custom email domain for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com, ensure you have met all the requirement under "Before you begin"

If you have existing email addresses at your domain that you want to keep using, make a list of them so you can configure them in iCloud. If you have no existing email addresses, you can create them after you add the domain to iCloud.

You need to have two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple ID. If you do not, you can turn it on at the Apple ID account website.

You need to have a primary iCloud Mail email address set up to use a custom email domain. If you do not, see Create a primary email address for iCloud Mail.

If you want to share a domain with your family, make sure you have Family Sharing set up. See Use iCloud with your family. Each family member also needs to turn on two-factor authentication and have a primary iCloud Mail email address.

If so, you may want to Contact Apple Support or use this Get Support link to check things on that end.

Best regards.

worst situation that it detects that a website is under cloudflate and does not let to set up all manually, only automatically which seems glitchy
