I cannot access the Mac Developer resources this morning.
With a company as advannced as Apple, I would expect them to be able to roll out web updates
seamlessly.
I don't like being out in the cold.
I want to download the Mavericks Beta.
as far as i know, its the longest downtime in 3 years.
I really hope they hasn't been a security breach.
The forums are seldomly down, but they do use the same authentication. I would assume that forums run on different infrastructure, so it's probably login related because that's the only point these portals have in common...
Let's hope it ain't so...
they think its better to be silent. but its totally wrong. Atleast apple should give a proper time.
i think its some major update.
we all are waiting for any update for same questions. APPLE IS SILENT
Ya i'm really gonna trust putting all of my documents on the icloud after this fiasco.
New message on web site:

Thank you for your patience.

Really? Even tho it's summer and everyone is on vacation....?
Come on Apple we are pulling for you, we are your developers! Get that donut shaped HQ UFO jump started so we can make you some more cash!
they dont care about anything.
A single point of failure for a large and important customer base. It was unannounced, there are no updates, and it has now been more than 40 hours.
My team needed to update a provisioning profile for a device in another part of the country for a critical meeting. If there was another way to do it, I would have done it that way. An outage for a few minutes, even a couple of hours - ok. But a couple of days? So the meeting was fubar...
Even with big companies, there is the rare catastrophic circumstance. But the lack of communication is inexcusable. If I knew it would have been days, I would have shipped a ready-to-go device. My bad, I guess.
With any other company that I *pay* for a service - this combination of downtime + lack of commnunication would have gotten them fired. I'm not used to doing business like this.
its totally irresponsible act from apple.
at least they have to inform us
may b the reason behind this is to get some extra hits for their discussion forum. 🙂
Why is the Apple Mac Developer portal down, and for how long?
