The company, which has been gradually bringing back various services, said on Saturday it will extend all developer memberships by one month.

“We are pleased to let you know that all our developer program services are now online,” Apple said in an email to developers. “Your patience during this time was sincerely appreciated.”

It apologized to developers who may have seen their work interrupted.
