Apple Developer Outage History

An outage affected Apple Developer services: Apple News API, Developer ID Notary Service, and News Publisher. The disruptions prevented access to Apple News content, disrupted publishing workflows, and hindered developer ID notarization, impacting apps and services relying on these APIs. The outage began at 9:57 PM UTC and continued until 12:17 AM UTC, lasting about 2 hours and 20 minutes.

A mid-incident update was logged at 10:27 PM UTC noting ongoing issues, with full recovery by 12:17 AM UTC for all three components. User reports were limited but included observations such as a report from Gilbert, Arizona at 11:02 PM UTC. The incident affected multiple Apple Developer services and their dependent workflows.

The Device Enrollment Program on Apple Developer experienced a brief outage starting at Jun 19, 2025 5:47 PM UTC and ending at Jun 19, 2025 6:52 PM UTC. The outage lasted about 1 hour and 5 minutes and affected enrollment capabilities for devices relying on the DEP component, during which enrollment operations would have been unavailable.

The status page shows the Device Enrollment Program transitioning from up to down and back to up, indicating the issue was contained to this component and resolved once service was restored.

An outage affected the App Attest component of Apple Developer, causing degraded performance for attestation-related requests. The degradation began at Jun 15, 2025 5:42 AM UTC and lasted until Jun 15, 2025 11:32 PM UTC, roughly 17 hours and 50 minutes. Users attempting attestation services may have experienced failures or slower responses while the issue persisted. The impact appeared limited to App Attest functionality, with no broader service outages reported.

From Jun 12, 2025 7:47 PM UTC to Jun 12, 2025 10:22 PM UTC, Apple Developer status showed a broad outage affecting eight components: App Store Connect, Xcode Cloud, Apple News API, News Publisher, Apple Podcasts Connect, App Store Connect API, Apple Music API, and Apple Music for Artists. Users experienced degraded access and intermittent failures across publishing workflows, content feeds, and developer tooling, with some services temporarily unavailable during the incident.

Apple's status page documented a sequence of updates as the incident unfolded, with several components transitioning between degraded and down states before recovering. The situation progressed over the course of the event and by 10:22 PM UTC recovery was underway for multiple services, including Xcode Cloud coming back online and other components resuming normal operation.

Apple Developer conducted a scheduled maintenance window from Jun 9, 2025 4:02 PM UTC to Jun 9, 2025 8:02 PM UTC, impacting 9 components including Contact Us, Xcode Cloud, Xcode Automatic Configuration, Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Program Enrollment and Renewals, Software Downloads, Account, Code-level Support, and MapKit JS Dashboard. Users could experience intermittent access or degraded functionality across these areas during the window. A user in Nantes, France reported issues at 6:51 PM UTC.

Apple Developer experienced a brief degradation across App Store Connect, Apple Music for Artists, and Apple Podcasts Connect. The degraded period lasted about 41 minutes, beginning when the status page listed these components as degraded at Jun 2, 2025 4:32 PM UTC and ending at Jun 2, 2025 5:13 PM UTC. Two user reports were submitted during the incident (first at 3:30 PM UTC and again at 4:00 PM UTC), and Apple published two official status updates before the components returned to normal. The issue appeared to be localized to the Store Connect suite rather than a global service outage.

Apple Developer conducted a scheduled maintenance window impacting multiple services. During the window, components including App Store Sandbox, App Store Connect, App Store Connect - Analytics, App Store Connect - App Processing, App Store Connect - App Upload, App Store Connect - Sales and Trends, App Store Connect - TestFlight, App Store Connect API, Apple Music for Artists, and Apple Podcasts Connect were temporarily unavailable or degraded. The maintenance began at May 10, 2025 1:02 PM UTC and concluded at May 10, 2025 3:02 PM UTC, lasting about 2 hours. The Apple Developer status page issued two updates describing the scope and progress, and all listed components returned to normal after the maintenance.

Apple Developer experienced brief outages affecting two components: Developer ID Notary Service and Device Enrollment Program (DEP). The Notary Service outage began at May 7, 2025 9:57 PM UTC and was resolved by May 7, 2025 10:42 PM UTC. The Device Enrollment Program outage began at May 7, 2025 10:27 PM UTC and was resolved by May 7, 2025 11:32 PM UTC. The two incidents overlapped briefly between 22:27 and 22:42 UTC, leaving users unable to complete signing and enrollment tasks during that window.

The Apple Developer status page posted four updates during the incident, with both services returning to normal after the final recovery. Impact was centered on signing workflows managed by the Notary Service and enrollment workflows handled by the Device Enrollment Program.

During a brief maintenance window, Apple Developer listed 8 components under maintenance, including Xcode Automatic Configuration, Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Code-level Support, Contact Us, Program Enrollment and Renewals, Xcode Cloud, and Account, which may have been temporarily limited for users. The maintenance window began at 5:02 PM UTC and was resolved by 5:07 PM UTC. The provider posted two official status updates during the incident, and all components returned to their normal state after the window.

Apple Podcasts Connect experienced a service outage beginning on Apr 30, 2025 5:27 PM UTC. The Apple Podcasts Connect component transitioned from operational to unavailable, affecting users' ability to access and manage podcasts, submissions, metadata, and analytics via Apple Developer's portal. The outage persisted until May 1, 2025 3:52 AM UTC, lasting approximately 10 hours and 25 minutes before service resumed.

The Apple Developer status page documented the incident with two updates during the outage. A user in Los Angeles reported issues at May 1, 2025 2:54 AM UTC indicating the problem reached users locally.
