Note, this is only a partially recovery: https://developer.apple.com/support/system-status/

The forums, tech support, pre-release docs, program enrollment/renewal, and member center are all still down.

The big thing that's returned are the dev centers and certificate issuance.

Of course the one thing I most want restored is on the list that still isn't (pre-release docs). I'm trying to roll some iOS 7 fixes into an update and would love dearly to be able to see the docs on the status bar changes.
Just received the following e-mail from Apple:

Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles Now Available

We appreciate your patience as we work to bring our developer services back online. Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, software downloads, and other developer services are now available. If you would like to know the availability of a particular system, visit our status page.

If your program membership expired or is set to expire during this downtime, it will be extended and your app will remain on the App Store. If you have any other concerns about your account, please contact us.

Thank you for bearing with us while we bring these important systems back online. We will continue to update you on our progress.

Interestingly, some dev certificates/provisioning profiles I setup in the day prior to the outage do not appear to exist anymore. It seems as though they must have reverted back to some point earlier in the week.
Which doesn't hold up with the explanation that they just closed the dev center to add security...

Either someone tampered with the data or made the whole system crash? Or it crashed by itself and there is no security issue at all :)

Same here.
Now let's see if apple is brave enough to publish explanation on what went wrong and what they did.

My guess is they won't because their server stack was ( and probably still is) too embarassing to talk about.

You mean I can finally download the command line tools for my new mavericks install so I can build the bcrypt gem and start my rails app? Thanks Apple.
You could have downloaded Xcode from the App Store, from within Xcode you can download the command line tools.

Sure it would have been a bigger download, but it is one route that would have worked and gotten you on your feet sooner.

I have xcode installed. It wasn't in the options list and the docs instructed me to download it from the device center. Which 404d.
I just had the same issue whereby I couldn't download the command line tools, installing Xcode worked for me at the time. It was listed in preferences -> downloads -> components.
Same here.
You could always move to Windows 8.1

I'm grateful they took security so seriously.

Simply running 'git' would trigger the same thing that prompts for installation of Java, just for the command line tools.
I hope they do something slightly nice for developers and give everyone an extra year of membership or something (not that $99/yr probably matters to most accounts).
I really wonder what took them so long. Something was probably incredibly rotten down there.
They were, ostensibly, rebuilding the entire shebang which would involve lots of testing
How long would it have taken you?
How long does it take before a device is active? I'm stuck on the activation screen in iOS7 :(
Having same issue - Added my new iPad UUID to Devices on developer portal, but activation still fails and says this device is not registered. Assuming I still have to wait for Xcode automatic config to be up and add device that way. Pretty frustrating.
I added a device about 3 hours ago. Still no go. I don't think they tested everything.
I added a new device uuid and its still failing registration one hour later
If you're into things that Tweet, you can get status updates from our (Diffbot's) twitter bot, https://twitter.com/diffbotappledev
Bit off topic, but I wish the page transitions in the provisioning portal didn't reload all the javascript assets (with a cache busting timestamp in the url) making every click annoyingly laggy.
At time of posting, about 1/2 is online

https://developer.apple.com/support/system-status/

However, I'm still unable to add new devices as the page never finishes loading after clicking "Submit" - there's also some JS errors in the console, so I guess they are still far away from restoring the Provisioning Portal.

Edit: Deleted my *.apple.com cookies, then it worked.

How can I fix my certificate issues? It looks like it's still down?
Are you trying to do so via xcode? If so perhaps try using the website instead. Certs/devices etc are working for me via the web interface.
Is it just me or is the site much, much faster since this update? The dev center has always been a painfully slow site for me, but it seems really snappy now.
Yeah—seems to be much faster. Maybe all those server upgrades were long overdue!
Could also just be a case of having fewer users at the moment. Chances are not everybody knows the site is back up again.
Alas, no pre-release docs or provisioning yet though :/
Provisioning is back up, I'm able to see the site, log in, and look at all of the devices, certs, etc
I get a request timed out trying to refresh provisioning profiles from Xcode.
Keep an eye on the system status page at https://developer.apple.com/support/system-status/. As long as "Xcode Automatic Configuration" is down, that's likely to keep failing. Doing things manually should work.
Thank you for the clarification!
Oh yes of course! Thanks, me too now :)
Provisioning worked for me as of 30 mins ago.
