In case you are a developer, you will probably notice that Apple’s developers center is down for more than two days without having the ability to enter it as you will find a message telling you “We’ll be back soon”. The portal, which is where the company stores downloads, documentation and other resources for developers, has been down for 48 hours.
More than 48 hours and the website is still down. This isn’t your typical ‘maintenance’ downtime, as those only usually
last a couple of minutes—or at worst, a few hours. And as you can
imagine, developers are starting to get frustrated with the service,
which Apple charges a $99 subscription fee for…
Apple comment on the two-day long developer center outage with the following message:
From Apple’s developers center:
“We’ll be back soon. We apologize that
maintenance is taking longer than expected. If your program membership
was set to expire during this period, it has been extended and your app
will remain on the App Store. If you have any other concerns about your
account, please contact us. Thank you for your patience.â€
For developers, this couldn’t have happened at a more inconvenient time. Apple released beta versions of its next-generation desktop and mobile
operating systems last month, ahead of their fall launches, and
developers have been working non-stop to bring their apps up to speed.

We don’t know what is going on, but we guess this message and the site outage means that maybe iOS 7 beta 4 is coming in the upcoming few days… This is just a guess and as usual we will keep you updated with anything new from Apple…
Stay tuned.. !
