iTunes Connect Is Down Today, Lion Tomorrow?

According to MacRumors,  Apple has taken down iTunes Connect for most of today, in what we assume is preparation for the assumed launch of Mac OS 10.7 Lion tomorrow. iTunes Connect is down for most of the day, Pacific Time, while Apple does some maintenance type stuff. An email was sent out to devs saying:

iTunes Connect will be undergoing scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, July 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. PDT.

During this time, iTunes Connect will still be available. However, pricing changes made between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. PDT will cause the app to become unavailable for purchase until maintenance is complete, at which point the app will become available at the new price. To avoid interruptions to the availability of your apps, do not make price changes during this time.

Lastly, customers may not be able to purchase apps in the Mexico, U.K., Australia, Switzerland, Japan or Norway storefronts during the scheduled maintenance.

Regards,
The App Store team

So if you’re not in the USA and your iTunes purchases aren’t going through today, now you know why. Hopefully by tomorrow everything should be fixed and ready to go.

Plus, you know, Lion.
