We have a CD pipeline set up for many apps (we're an app dev agency, we're uploading apps all the time). Uploads of our apps to AppStoreConnect using the iTMSTransporter command line tool started failing a few days ago.
If we attempt to upload the same bundle using the Mac Transporter app, it uploads just fine. The problem only seems to be the iTMSTransporter command line tool.
The version of the tool we're using is: iTMSTransporter, version 3.3.0
I've also tried running these commands pointing at the version of iTMSTransporter running at /Applications/Transporter.app/Contents/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter but this won't even start due to some Java security certificate issue.
An example of the command we are calling is:
/usr/local/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter -m upload -v eXtreme -f "/path/to/Bundle.itmsp" -jwt {generatedJwtHere}
The bundle appears to actually upload to the AppStore OK, after lots of logs we get a message like:
INFO: Reservation committed: (CPUSource221/v4/0b/e5/74/0be57409-0479-3c02-0fa7-6b1e2125342f/http-transport-diagnostic-2323106272954036093.txt) file: (http-transport-diagnostic-2323106272954036093.txt)

But then soon after the system fails. Here's the last bunch of lines from the logs:

This problem is affecting all our apps. We've tried apps built using Xcode 15 and 16. All issues are happening on Mac machines.
