iTunes Connect crashed (UPDATE 3 - it was fixed)

The iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store were unstable all day yesterday, and iTunes Connect dropped altogether. Now everything is fine.

This is reported by The Next Web. Familiar developers App2Top.ru They are also informed that they will not be able to log in to iTunes Connect. While checking the information, we were faced with the inability to download anything from the App Store.

The problems are not tied to local markets, but are of a global nature. However, it is quite possible to download something on some of them. Colleagues from The Next Web write that, according to their sources, applications in the Indian App Store can be downloaded, but musical compositions are not.

It is unclear what all this may be connected with. Apple itself has not commented on the situation yet. It is quite possible that we will not wait for the first comments until the evening, when the California office of the company wakes up.

Be that as it may, we will keep you informed of the situation.

By the way, a curious coincidence: in the last day, Xbox Live for Xbox 360 has similar problems: users cannot log into their accounts and download games.

UPDATE

According to the latest data from The Next Web:

• At the moment, the situation is relevant for Australia, Brazil, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Poland, Serbia, South Africa, Cyprus, Canada, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, France, Finland, India, Italy, Indonesia, Philippines, Romania, Ukraine, the Caribbean, Portugal, Egypt, Slovakia, Singapore, Vietnam, Israel, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Greece, New Zealand, Great Britain, the USA and Russia.
• The British representative office of the App Store does not know what the problem is and was not aware of it at all until one of the readers of the Western site informed them about it
• Some developers now have problems accessing the Apple Developer login.

UPDATE 2

Apple gave a comment to the American television channel CNBC:

We apologize to all our users for the problems they encountered when working with iTunes and other services this morning. The reason was an internal DNS error in Apple. We are working to make all services available to users as quickly as possible and thank everyone for their patience.

Anyway, we still can’t download apps from the App Store.

UPDATE 3

Apple managed to cope with the problem. At least, the applications are downloaded again (we did it), and The Next Web reports that Apple has updated the status statuses of all its services – and their lights are green.
