Usage

The IPA Uploader tool is invoked as follows:

• --username: The username of the Apple ID to upload the IPA as.

• --password: The app-specific password to use when uploading the IPA (see below).

The following optional parameters may also be specified:

• --itms-transporter-path: The path to ITMSTransporter for uploading.
• --emit-app-name: Emits the application name as part of output.
• --notify-only-on-failure: Output will only be emitted in the event of a failure.

• --verbose: Emits more detailed output.

App-Specific Passwords

An app-specific password is one which is generated and then provided to a third-party app to allow limited access to perform authorized actions using your Apple ID. This prevents your account credentials from being compromised.

In order to generate an app-specific password login at https://appleid.apple.com and then scroll down to the Security section. Under App-Specific Passwords, follow the Generate Password... link.
