As I see the link upload ipa to testflight，then refer the example,
/usr/local/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter \
-m upload -jwt ex**** \
-asc_provider Apple \
-v eXtreme \
-assetFile /Users/jappleseed/Downloads/MyApp.ipa \
-distribution DeveloperId \
-primaryBundleId com.apple.contentdelivery.theFruitStand
but I got the error message, why it happened?
ERROR: The '-assetFile' option cannot specify a file with an extension of '.ipa' when -distribution is set to 'DeveloperId'.
then I try this command, make the .ipa to .zip,
/usr/local/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter \
-m upload -jwt ex**** \
-asc_provider Apple \
-v eXtreme \
-assetFile /Users/jappleseed/Downloads/MyApp.zip \
-distribution DeveloperId \
-primaryBundleId com.apple.contentdelivery.theFruitStand
then it show success, but I can not found the ipa in iTunes Connect, as iTunes Connect not showing my uploaded IPA.
Package Summary:
1 packages were uploaded successfully.
Face this situation, then I try this command again, and upload.itmsp contains [metadata.xml, Myapp.ipa].
/usr/local/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter \
-m upload -jwt ex**** \
-asc_provider Apple \
-v eXtreme \
-f /Users/jappleseed/Downloads/upload.itmsp/ \
-distribution DeveloperId \
-primaryBundleId com.apple.contentdelivery.theFruitStand
it also told me success message, and I can see the build version in iTunes connect, but I can not choose the version in TestFlight, then I can not do more.
1 packages were uploaded successfully:
/Users/jappleseed/Downloads/upload.itmsp/
Use username/password authentication (-m username -p yourpassword) instead of JWT. This solved the issue for me.
