Clicking the "Individual" button on the bottom throws up a WebObjects error: http://i.imgur.com/xcfZ5ip.png (Yes, that's probably the smallest I've ever made my Safari window. You're welcome, mobile readers)
Interesting, it looks like the WebObjects application(s) has actually been undeployed. I poked around the main developer.apple.com for a bit until I got here: https://developer.apple.com/programs/start/safari/enroll.php...

Or it could be that the shared storage that the apps are likely hosted on could have a problem.
I've had an active developer program account since 2008. While various tools have gone offline now and then, and there are planned shutdowns around the holidays and during keynotes, this incident seems unique. Wonder what's going on over there. This outage makes the provisioning portal inaccessible. That could mean very real work disruptions, since no new code signing credentials can be made.
My guess it's the SAN. Many enterprise deployments I've seen will expose the same binaries across the many servers in the cluster.
And it fits in well with an across the board fault.
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.
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.
When has Apple EVER told us what the cause for an outage was ?
The 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…
I can confirm iTunes connect is up because our app entered review and was rejected within that last 3 hours :(
Sorry to hear that. I just had an app get approved and published an hour ago.
Nothing like discovering your recently released app crashes on iOS 7 and being unable to download the SDK to find out why, or fix it.
Is that really so urgent? The majority of the people using iOS 7 are developers, understand apps will be buggy under it and wouldn't leave a bad review. I'm sure an extra few hours wait won't make too much difference :)
We've got a rendering issue on iOS7, we knew about it from the numerous non-devs who demanded a fix immediately!

Nah, being able to develop applications for the largest growing and well known ecosystem since Windows 95 is not a big deal if you live under a rock and eat grubs. In fact, I can't remember the last time software had a significant impact on the greater physical world since 0.223μs ago. Too bad mobile applications on walled garden platforms never caught on, I was hoping to witness all the fun drama and obvious security and trust implications play out inside the most complicated civilized social structure in recorded human history. But that won't happen now that Apple got bored with all the profit they get from being the new masters of the information universe and decided to shut down iTunes app store thingy.
