I'm using Jenkins and altool to validate an iOS package and upload it to my iTunes account automatically. While the validation works fine and I receive no error, the uploading doesn't work.

'/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framework/Versions/A/Support/altool' --upload-app -f my_application.ipa -u **** -p '****'

And as a result I'm getting the following error:

altool[35164:1584273] Error: Exception while launching iTunesTransporter: Transporter not found at path: /usr/local/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter. You should reinstall the application. altool[35164:1584271] Error: Errors uploading

If I take the same package and try to upload it using Application Loader everything works fine.

    I vaguely recall getting this error after upgrading Xcode at some point. You might try recreating the `/usr/local/itms` symlink to point to the proper subdirectory of Xcode.app. e.g. something like this for Xcode 7.1: ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/itms /usr/local/itms – Carlos Macasaet Nov 07 '15 at 08:32
  • that helped! Please reply with an answer to mark it as a solution – Mando Nov 17 '15 at 17:31
  • It's a bug in `altool` that still exists in Application Loader 3.4 which is bundled with Xcode 7.2. Be sure to file a bug report so it gets fixed. – Perry Dec 18 '15 at 02:19
  • How are you automating this with Jenkins, @AlexeyStrakh ? Is there a plugin for that, or are you using a "shell" step ? Does a "password" have to be specified "as-is" or is it possible to use credentials provider ? Can you provide an example ? Thanks !! – 62mkv Dec 07 '16 at 08:36
  • shell exec, just it – Mando Dec 07 '16 at 14:34

Try recreating the /usr/local/itms symlink to point to the proper subdirectory of Xcode.app. e.g.something like this for Xcode 7.1:

ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/itms /usr/local/itms

This may be necessary after Xcode gets upgraded.
