Apple Dev Center outage

My first thought also.
Why? There's really no reason to think that. Of all of the things that can go wrong - power, equipment, network, etc - you pick 'security breach'... Not impossible.. but not the most likely either.
If it was just power or network, they'd have it back online pretty quick. This seems like they're taking time to investigate something.

Power, network, etc. have redundancy. Security breach is a show stopper.
Except for the AWS EBS outage a couple of years ago which had nothing to do with a security breach. http://aws.amazon.com/message/65648/ Cascading catastrophic failures do happen that don't involve security.
Sudden shutdown of vital service + silence = most likely a security prob.
I'm not saying that's what it is but it seems likely.

I'd think that Apple would be happy to tell us it was a simple power/network failure were that the case. Sudden shutdown of vital service + silence = most likely a security prob. I'm not saying that's what it is but it seems likely.

None of those are within the Developer Center. It's very possible for those to be up and running while dev portal is down.
Right, that page doesn't even have the capability of reporting this outage. Kind of makes it a bit unreliable as a status page, you know?

I don't know about that. There's a huge community of non-developers who, for reasons I cannot comprehend, love to put beta OSes on their phones. I'd wager they outnumber legitimate developers using the beta by a hefty margin. And a lot of them don't understand the implications of doing this. Stories of unjustified bad reviews being left by users like these due to poor behavior on iOS 7 are really common in the commun…
If you're a non-developer and running a beta OS, you should know what you're getting into. At the same time, I do feel sorry for devs getting bad reviews because of compatibility issues. I haven't had any myself, but it's probably only a matter of time.

Re: Apple Dev Center outage
#58The entire Apple dev center is down. That makes it impossible to download the iOS or Mac SDKs, including the iOS 7 beta. It's also not possible to provision new devices or update expired certificates. The developer forums are down too, which is somewhat frustrating since that's the only place we can discuss the still-under-NDA iOS 7. iTunes connect appears to be up. Apologies for those who posted this earlier. The he…
No forum means no complaints which future developers can look back on...
