iTunes Connect to go offline for the December holidays

iTunes Connect to go offline for the December holidays

Apple is sending out a notice to developers reminding them that iTunes Connect will go offline for the holidays. This happens every year and is meant to give Apple’s entire staff a break so they can spend some time with their friends and family. This year, iTunes Connect will go offline on December 21st and will remain closed until December 27th. During this time, no new apps will be released or updated and prices on apps cannot be changed. If a price change is scheduled for that week, the app will be unavailable until December 27th. All the details on the shutdown are contained in the email posted originally by iMore below: iTunes Connect will be temporarily unavailable from Saturday, December 21, to Friday, December 27, 2013. During that time, iTunes Connect will not be accessible and you will not be able to submit any apps or In-App Purchases. Processing of any Newsstand Atom feeds will be delayed until after December 27. Sales and Trends reports via the Autoingestion tool will be available but may also be delayed. Also, you should not schedule any pricing changes or apps to go live between those dates. Pricing changes scheduled to take effect in that date range will cause the app to become unavailable for purchase until after December 27. Similarly, apps scheduled to go live during that range will not be released until after December 27. If you have any additional questions, use the Contact Us module on iTunes Connect. This email should not come as any surprise to developers as iTunes Connect is closed every year at this time. If you are a developer, how do you prepare for this downtime? Continue reading
