I am writing a custom solution to create & upload iOS apps to app store using the iTMSTransporter. Whenever it starts, it checks for the software updates from apple. God, this is the frustrating tool i have ever used. Every day it checks for the updates, and it runs endlessly, and always struck at this line
[2014-04-25 16:51:13 IST] DEBUG: Analyzing remote bundle resource com.apple.jingle.leghorn...
I dont know what it downloads, it pauses here for hours. I have to kill it to use the iTMSTransporter again. Sometimes it goes again to updating the software components. If i am lucky, it stops at some time and do the work it supposed to do.
This is happening all the time irrespective of the commands i am supplying. Even --help is updating the damn software components every time.
THis is the full log
mPub|development ✗⇒ iTMSTransporter -u apple@myusername.com -p mypass -v off -m lookupMetadata -vendor_id 46saTYYTG -destination /tmp/46saTYYTG

can someone help me how to fix this or workaround this software update issue. We have huge automated app distribution queue. It disastrously fails because of this stupid sick issue. I have been battling this for last 2 weeks. Not able to find or workaround any solution.
I tried to hack around this a few years ago; no luck.
@tankLei found this workaround. Essentially he/she runs an instance of iTMSTransporter to do the update, then runs a second, which sees that the update is taking place and skips it.
How long have you waited for? Do you have a reasonable amount of bandwidth while this is going on?
