Breaking News Apple has reported performance issues affecting App Store Connect and app processing, warning that some developers may experience problems using the services responsible for managing and preparing apps for distribution through the App Store.
According to Apple’s Developer System Status page, two incidents were listed on Thursday, November 12, both beginning at 9:11 p.m. The notices identify “App Store Connect – App Processing” and “App Store Connect” as experiencing degraded performance, with Apple stating that some users are affected.
App Store Connect is the web-based service developers use to manage their apps, including submitting builds, updating App Store listings and monitoring the review process. Its app-processing component prepares uploaded builds for later testing or submission. Performance problems in either service could interrupt parts of that workflow, although Apple has not specified which actions are failing or how many developer accounts are affected.
Both entries were marked as ongoing in Apple’s notice. The company has not disclosed a cause or provided an estimated time for resolution. The incidents concern developer-facing systems and do not, by themselves, establish an outage affecting App Store downloads or purchases for customers.
Developers experiencing delays or errors can check Apple’s live system status page for updates. As the situation can change quickly, the latest status should be checked before assuming the disruption is continuing.
