Black Friday has passed, and like last year, I successfully avoided anything to do with that, and now cyber Monday approaches. While consumers have gotten their holiday apps and emails to find the best deals, everyone should keep in mind that development starts slowing down.
iTunes Connect Shutdown
This time of year means more than just finding the best deals. For developers, it is the time they slow down on releases.
Shutting down has a lot to do with Apple as developers lose access to iTunes Connect for a week in December. This year, developers will lose access from from Friday, December 21, 2012 to Friday, December 28, 2012. As a reminder, the shutdown means no new apps or updates will be made available. Even if an app was scheduled to appear, Apple warns it will not show up.
Apple added another component this year. Releases and pricing changes scheduled to appear will also find themselves delayed. During the shut down, in-app purchases will also be unavailable. The company opened a day earlier last year so the timeframe could slightly change.
