Why is the Apple Mac Developer portal down, and for how long?

Interestingly enough, if you are a Mac developer, over the air updates to Mavericks are available today.

But no release notes ?? Bummer still nothing from the iOS side of things yet 😟

The Maverick Seed site is still open: https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/welcome - Authorized participants can log in there to use related resources, etc.

Pls. do not use these forums to discuss betas, thanks.

You can get a look at release notes if you open the Mac App Store first before restarting.

But for example, if you are testing Mavericks Server you need a download of a matching Server App after your machine has updated its OS, so the lack of the Mac Developer Portal is still throwing a monkey wrench into things. If you are testing Server I'd recommend waiting for the website.

I assume they could push over the air updates for iOS as well. But if an iOS install fails, your fallback would be a device restore in iTunes. And I'm afraid without the downloaded iOS package you would be really stuck. So its probably for the best that nothing has yet been released.

Does anybody know about - when "SOON" will be now?

5 days sooner than thursday. Seems like someone asks that every day.

Well, in two days they won't be able to say "last Thursday" anymore...

Almost down for a week? Seriously? Live isn't going stop for your developer community... So let's get the developer site back up.

Come ooonnn Aaaaappleeeeeeeeeeeeee 😢

I have received an email from Apple saying that there was a security issue with the developer web site. They are currently working on it to update and make a stronger and better web site.

The developer website will be up again soon.

So, no news is good news?

Thank you, Captain Late

I thought I was the only one who got that email.

I wish there was a moderator to close this ever increasingly useless thread.

Why don't you ask that Turkish guy, apparently he can close it for you.

There's an idea. We all start sending e-mails to that guy in Turkey asking him to fix all the various problems in our member center accounts that Apple Support doesn't acknowledge, can't or won't fix, or doesn't understand.

I'm sure he would be flattered initially, but after a few hundred thousand e-mails, word will get out and the Apple Developer site will be forever safe from hackers in the future.
