Developers use iTunes Connect to add,view, or manage applications in the iTunes Store, check sales/trend reports, financial reports, or manage users. For the past 3 days, iTunes Connect has been down for many people. The iTunes Connect team at Apple are aware of this problem, and they’re working on fixing it.

I tried submitting an application right now, but my connection was reset, when I went back I got an error message saying “You backtracked so far“.  Apple should at least put up a status page notifying Developers that iTunes Connect is down. Many developers have been trying to submit applications, or even updates to applications but have been unable to do so because of iTunes Connect being down.

Once iTunes Connect is back up, the iTunes Connect team will have a lot of app submissions pouring in! Apple hasn’t even provided an ETA for when this problem will be fixed. I hope it’s soon, many developers are not happy about this!

Update: After writing this post, it appears that iTunes Connect is back up! I was successfully able to submit an application.
