After a three-week absence, Apple's developer site has been restored to working order.
Apple said Monday that it was just days away from restoring the remaining down services at the site, which was taken down on July 18, following what Apple says was a security intrusion. While it said that there was unauthorized access to some developer information, Apple said the site was "not associated with any customer information."

The outage left some developers in a lurch, unable to enable new devices to run pre-release versions of Apple's software or test out new apps. The downtime also came as Apple pushes developers to test and create software for upcoming versions of iOS and Mac OS X, both of which are expected in the fall.
Apple began to bring back many key services on July 26, after more than a week of downtime. Among those services were the developer sites for iOS, Mac, and Safari development, alongside downloads for upcoming versions of Apple's desktop and mobile software.
Some of the last services restored included tools to let people sign up and renew subscriptions to its annual paid developer programs.
