For those wondering why this is a big deal it means that every developers attempting to run a development version of an iPhone, iPad or MacOS app cannot run their apps right now.

This is worse than Github being down and Apple Developers who pay 99$ a year for the privilege of writing software on this ecosystem aren't event getting a status page update: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

Can confirm. Spent over an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't build to devices just to get frustrated, browse to HN, and here we are.

I'm looking for a job shoveling pig shit as we speak.

What genuinely pisses me off is that this isn't noted on their status page, nor is it indicated at all when you, I dunno, revoke and generate certs repeatedly trying to solve a problem you didn't fucking cause.

It's definitely not worse than GitHub being down...

Depends on your priorities. Many developers don't pay for github access, and no one pays github 15-30% of gross sales.

		And a lot more people use github for something at all and don't use Apple for anything at all. The entire Apple universe is smaller than the world or even just the github part of the world, and the Apple developer universe is a tiny fraction of even just the Apple universe.

You can still work locally if GH is down. You can even send patches by (gasp!) email for review if you want to do something ASAP.

Apple's servers being down makes it impossible to test your code on your _own_ devices.
