iTunes Connect will be closed from December 22 to December 29

Apple has informed developers that iTunes Connect will be closed from December 22 to December 29. At this time, you will not be able to launch new applications, make updates or change the price.

iTunes closes for the Christmas holidays every year, and Apple always warns about it in advance. For example, an attempt to change the cost of the application during this period may lead to the fact that it will become unavailable.

As practice shows, in the last week before closing, Apple employees try to consider applications for releases and updates as quickly as possible.

According to a report by Flurry, from November to December, app sales increase by an average of 50%. If you are interested in holiday sales, we recommend sending applications no later than December 15.
