Apple has quietly flipped a switch to take iTunes Connect back online this week, allowing iOS and OS X application sellers to distribute their content to end users.

In a reminder posted to its Developer Portal, Apple last week informed application sellers that “iTunes Connect will shut down December 21–27 for the winter holidays.”

The Cupertino giant advised developers not to schedule any binary submissions, updates, or price changes that take effect during the shutdown period as “these changes will not be reflected on the App Store and your apps or In-App Purchase items will become unavailable until after the shutdown.”

“In addition, releases that are scheduled to go live between these dates will be delayed,” Apple said at the time.

With December 27 come and gone, developers can once again schedule new submissions for the iOS App Store and the Mac App Store via iTunes Connect.
