Apple Plans to Restore Majority of Developer Center Functionality This Week

[Shrink]

I wonder if it'll look nicer than before. You'd really think they'd keep a backup of all their code somewhere else. They should've done that and attempted to add more security.

Done what?

Done what?

Used backup code (if they had it).

There we go. Always count on the Shrink.

Well, they did state at the onset: "In order to prevent a security threat like this from happening again, we're completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database. We apologize for the significant inconvenience that our downtime has caused you and we expect to have the developer website up again soon."

And that was no doubt, a huge job.

yeah..I got the email too, but that doesn't at all describe the extent of the breach. Just stating glad site going back up.

If they were redoing things to make sure that they were more secure, and perhaps also to take the time to do some related updates that simply made sense (or maybe even were necessary as part of the security fix), why would they want to use a backup of the old code? Perhaps some pieces here or there where it might make sense or there was no alternative for some reason, but for the most part the whole point of such a fix and related upgrades would be not to have the same code (otherwise it wouldn't be much of a fix and/or an upgrade).

I wish it were true, but my membership expired during the outage and it was not renewed. Sent an email to Apple support, but nothing so far.

I'm in the opposite situation. My membership was set to expire during the outage, but a week earlier I paid for the renewal. Nevertheless, Apple has been sending me emails telling me that I have to renew once the outage is restored.

Has it been cancelled? don't you still have access?

Yes. When I go in, it says that my membership has been expired and that I should renew.

At least my OS X membership isn't expired (only because it's at a way different time), so it's not all bad.

I've already sent support emails using the link provided by the "extended membership" email, but something tells me that it won't be answered given that the "Technical Support" part is down xD.

Hmmm, that's interesting. Sounds like they were having slight problems before the outage?

This week?

Come on Apple. This week is ending soon!

Enrollments and renewals still not working.

It's back online.

I got this email around 3 in the morning "We are pleased to let you know that all our developer program services are now online. Your patience during this time was sincerely appreciated.

We understand that the downtime was significant and apologize for any issues it may have caused in your app development. To help offset this disruption, we are extending the membership of all developer teams by one month. If you need any further assistance, please contact us"
