The recent downtime of the Apple’s Developer Portal has been creating some news all over the internet. And as a developer, I know how much of a pain it is to pause the work just because of the portal’s downtime.
While the entire iOS and Mac developer community waits for Apple to fix the issue and get the site back up online, the company has put up a dedicated page, which would allow us to track the status of the portal.
Apple is yet to acknowledge the kind of attack the portal experienced, the company has temporarily put a message to anyone who’s visiting the Developer Portal:
We apologize for the significant inconvenience caused by our developer website downtime. We’ve been working around the clock to overhaul our developer systems, update our server software, and rebuild our entire database. While we complete the work to bring our systems back online, we want to share the latest with you.
We plan to roll out our updated systems, starting with Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Apple Developer Forums, Bug Reporter, pre-release developer libraries, and videos first. Next, we will restore software downloads, so that the latest betas of iOS 7, Xcode 5, and OS X Mavericks will once again be available to program members. We’ll then bring the remaining systems online. To keep you up to date on our progress, we’ve created a status page to display the availability of our systems.
If your program membership is set to expire during this period, it will be extended and your app will remain on the App Store. If you have any other concerns about your account, please contact us.
Thank you for your continued patience.
It’s been about a week since the portal went down, delaying iOS 7, Xcode and Mac developer builds, which were supposed to come out last Monday according to the Beta release pattern. But I personally think that the site will be back up and fully operational in a week.
