I just had a call with Apple Developer support. Same s*** (sorry) as yesterday and the day before: it's a known issue it's in progress there are already tickets for it it won't be published on the system status page as only "some" clients are affected I won't be notified when the bug is fixed, just try again tomorrow. Well, thanks for nothing!
