Annual iTunes Connect Shutdown Set for December 21-28

Thursday November 8, 2012 10:27 AM PST by Jordan Golson

As noted by MacStories, Apple has sent an email to developers informing them that the iTunes Connect portal for the App Store will be shut down over the Christmas holiday, as it has the past several years. This year's shutdown will extend from December 21st through December 28th.

As in past years, Apple suggests developers not schedule price changes or new releases during the shutdown period.

Most of Apple's corporate employees in the United States will also be taking all of Thanksgiving week off in recognition of the company's success this year, but the company has made no announcement about whether this will include employees responsible for app reviews and other App Store functions.
