Most of the services still don't work for me. Can't generate certs/profiles, no forums. I get redirected to the maintenance page from most of the links with very few exceptions. Also no response from customer support so far. Based in Ireland, if that matters. No, it's not a browser cache issue and no, I'm not a new subscriber.

I seriously don't understand why would a security breach take weeks to fix. Complete re-write (if that's what they're doing) is never a good response to a security breach. Let alone that you keep a whole army of developers and their businesses almost totally paralyzed for weeks.

This is wrong on more than one level.

Same here. I've got the feeling Apple is very arrogant. They seem to think all developers just love Apple whatever they do. But my trust in Apple is gone.

Fortunately this year there will be a lot more to choose from: Android, Windows, Firefox OS, Ubuntu, Sailfish. And even some 'open' phones. I'm seeing a lot of companies stepping away from Apple these days. Too expensive when there are good alternatives.

And when you are writing company apps market share of an OS isn't an issue.

Only Apple can get away with something like this. "Hey guys sorry we where down for days but now everything is fine again enjoy"

No aftermath report. No details on anything.

Think I've got access to everything but the bug tracker, which I reported to Apple.

This is a serious question: Can someone explain, why this takes Apple - who have "unlimited" resources - this long to fix?

Get a copy of "Mythical man month". Btw, where did you get an idea, that Apple has limited resources? What I hear is that they have really small teams.
