iTunes Connect is NOT down - its just a "soft" down

appstorehacker · 12-23-2009, 03:35 PM

I thought it was going to be out of commission today but most of us can still access it. However, I've noticed that none of the changes I've made have propagated to the regional AppStores!

I think what they meant was that your changes (photos, app description and status changes) will not appear until the 28th! Like they disabled the sync process. This explains why our newly approved apps aren't showing up and why changing your description now doesn't make a difference.

Any insights? Are you experiencing the same?

yup, still accessible. One update approved this morning.

its more likely that changes are propagating slowly as they have been the last few weeks. one of my apps took 20 hours to show up after release. My guess would be they will be taking it down sometime today. when they say the 23rd it doesnt mean they will be taking it down promptly on the first minute of that day

Its officially closed now. I think they meant the end of the 23rd, not the day itself...

If you're an appFigures member reports will be auto imported as usual every day. If not you can go to http://itts.apple.com and grab them from there.

Has anyone noticed if the new release lists have continued to show additional apps today. I know they were still updating yesterday, but I haven't been able to tell today. My app went live yesterday afternoon (after setting the release date for the previous day), but it has yet to show up on the new release list in its category.

Mine was approved yesterday and I don't see it on the app store either. It's about 28 hrs now...
