Apple says it apologizes for any inconvenience and recommends that developers make critical deliveries or changes on another day. Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles will remain available, according to Apple.

Apple's notary service for Mac apps experienced slowness last week, but it is unclear if the maintenance is related to that.

Developers are encouraged to monitor Apple's system status page.
