Apple is planning to shut down the iTunes Connect back end for the holidays.
This is not a joke.
iPhone and iPad developers were notified today that the iTunes Connect back end would be down from 12/23 through 12/28.
From the release:
During this shutdown, iTunes Connect will be unavailable. In addition, app releases and pricing changes which are scheduled to take place during the shutdown will be handled as follows:
All releases will not appear in the App Store until Wednesday, December 29. This includes apps scheduled to appear on the App Store for the first time as well as updates to existing apps.
Pricing changes will cause the app to become unavailable for purchase until Wednesday, December 29, at which point the app will become available at the new price. Please check to ensure you have not scheduled any price changes during this time.
This means that all app developers should make sure there are no app changes during the down time. No price changes and no new releases. If you have changes like that scheduled, YOUR APP WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR FIVE DAYS.
Ok, you may now return to your regularly scheduled anger management training concerning iTunes Connect's usual deficiencies.
