Apple's developer Web site has been down for maintenance in the past, but the latest is a doozy.

The site, which is home to software downloads, documentation, and forums for Apple's software developers has been unavailable for more 30 hours, leaving users hanging.

"This site is undergoing maintenance for an extended period today," links to the members section of the Mac and iOS Developer Web sites read (pictured above). "Thanks for your patience."

As a result of the outage, several developers have turned to Twitter to speculate on the cause, with some blaming the weather and others lashing out at the company:

Right now GitHub and the Apple iOS Dev Center are down. I think this heatwave has had a big impact on those servers.

The iOS Dev center is on day 2 of being down.... When did apple stop caring about it's developers?

Developers first noticed Apple's "undergoing maintenance" message on Thursday.

CNET has contacted Apple for more information, and will update this post when we know more.
