The message says:

We’ll be back soon.

We apologize that maintenance is taking longer than expected.

Thank you for your patience.

Apple Developer Maintenance 20130720

John Gruber thinks that it is bad news since Apple Store was also down.

Apple Store Maintenance 20130720

Obviously his spidey sense is either off or he doesn’t have one at all; John Gruber is not Peter Parker. Apple Store went back online right after Midnight on Sunday July 21, 2013.

During this period, Apple ID site is still working without interruptions.

Apple is expected to release iOS 7 beta 4 and OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 4 on Monday July 22, 2013; based on two week release schedule. Apparently many sites are reporting the obvious as news.

At this point our Apple contacts are either saying nothing or unreachable (out of the country).

OS X Mavericks

OS X Mavericks is coming Fall 2013. Developer beta of the next major release of OS X is available to Apple Developers.

From Apple Press Release:

Additional features in OS X Mavericks include:

iCloud Keychain®, which safely stores your website login information, credit card numbers and Wi-Fi passwords, and pushes them to all of your devices so you don’t need to remember them. Information is always protected with AES-256 encryption when it’s stored on your Mac and when it’s pushed to your devices;

an updated Calendar, which adds integration with Maps, continuous scrolling so you can zip through weeks or months, and a new Inspector to simplify event creation and editing;

interactive Notifications, allowing you to reply to a message, respond to a FaceTime® call or even delete an email without leaving the app you’re using. Websites can now use notifications to keep you up to date on the latest news, scores and other information. While You Were Away Notifications make sure you see what happened while your Mac was asleep; and

Xcode® 5, with powerful, intuitive new tools for developers that measure every aspect of app performance and energy use, as well as app testing.

OS X Mavericks

OS X Mavericks is named after Mavericks, a surfing spot in Northern California.

Downloading iPhone OS 4 SDK Developer Preview.

11:30 AM Cupertino Time
OK, I’ve “signed” the iPhone Developer Updated Program License Agreement. NDA is in effect now. I can’t talk about it unless Apple revealed it first (or someone else).

11:11 AM Cupertino Time
Apple iPhone Developer Center is being updated. Developer must agree to the Updated Program License Agreement.

Well, since NDA is in effect, I can’t talk much about iPhone OS 4 other than what Apple has revealed today.

It is apparent that Snow Leopard is required to develop for iPhone OS 4.
