The iPhone Devcenter is down... and now, back up

Update 11am ET: Logins appear to be working again for the iPhone Dev Center, at least from the East Coast. If you're still having trouble logging in, try using Firefox rather than Safari. Still hearing reports of intermittent issues (Namely "Can't connect to application instance")

Isn't it weird that Apple has taken down the iPhone devcenter a day before their big "newest creation" announcement? Normally we expect site outages on the day of announcementpalooza, not the day before. Maybe it's a maintenance/infrastructure thing that needs to go live and be tested before the big day. Maybe it's 3.2. Maybe it's an attack of rainbow unicorn puppy dog devs. We don't know. All we know is that the site has been down since about 5AM Eastern. (I write this at about 10:30 Eastern). iTunes Connect remains unaffected by this outage.

I've been on the iPhone dev center multiple times today, using Safari on Mac. Maybe it's just in the US? (I'm from Denmark). I really do not hope that Apple is planning to launch more US-only stuff :/

I'm pretty impressed that entering the Konami code starts the OS 4.0 SDK.

I'm pretty sure this is background maintenance for what will be announced tomorrow.

I just did some testing... it seems to only be down in Safari on the Mac. In Firefox and Chrome it comes up just fine, and even in Safari on Windows it is coming up fine.

Why is it down just for Safari on Mac?

Wow, this ResKit works like a charm! My app (currently in progress) works perfectly (well I had to calculate the appropriate minimumFontSize...) on any resolution because it uses [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds and draws everything itself instead of using images (CGContext stuff). ResKit rocks!

Don't know what happened... I'm using Safari on my Mac and everything is working fine.
