Apple developers can't generate certs... A day's work is lost.

What do you do when Apple can't generate certs for developing and distributing your apps? I had to push a deadline today... What do you guys put in contracts with regards to e.g. Apple causing you grief? It's not exactly "Force Majeure".

    If you're relying on an external party for anything that falls in your critical path you should schedule it for well before your deadline.

    There's no reason that getting a cert needs to be left until the last minute.

    Notify Apple and wait until it's fixed.
