Apple Inc. shut down its website for software developers after a hacker broke into the network and is overhauling the system to prevent the incident from damaging its relationship with programmers.

Apple took the site, used by engineers who write applications for iPhones, Macs and other products, offline on July 18 after a hacker tried to steal basic information on developers such as e-mail addresses, the company said in a statement posted on the Internet yesterday.
