[macos] Where to find Application Loader app in Mac?

I have downloaded applicationloader_1.3.dmg and installed in the destination Macintosh HD.

The messages show The installation was successfully done. But, there is the ApplicationLoader app that doesn't appear anywhere.

How to install and get the Applicationloader app in Application->Utility folder?

I'm using Mac OSX version 10.6.8.

I have found in following way :

Go to https://itunesconnect.apple.com/ , sign in

Click "Resources and Help"

This error had me really scared because I make my app using Adobe AIR, so once my AIR builder (FDT) tells me it has packaged it, I really have very little I can do if it fails.

I got this error when I uploaded my ipa through the Application Loader (v3.0 [620]) that I had downloaded from the link they provide when submitting the binary. I tried uploading the ipa through Xcode > Application Loader (v3.6 [1020]) and it worked fine.

I am going to write to Apple about this once my blood pressure returns to normal.

With Xcode 11, Application Loader has been removed. The Mac App store now has an app called Transporter.

application loader page: https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/ra/ng/resources_page

application loader 3.1: https://itunesconnect.apple.com//apploader/ApplicationLoader_3.1.dmg

You can download Application Loader from Itunes Connect.

• Go to https://itunesconnect.apple.com/ , sign in, and click on Manage Your Apps.
• There is a Download Application Loader link at the bottom.

At the time of writing, this link is: https://itunesconnect.apple.com/apploader/ApplicationLoader_3.1.dmg

With Application Loader now gone from Xcode I had a look around to see how to upload an .ipa file, since I use UE4 and I don't touch Xcode at all during development. Turns out it's pretty hidden away, You need to go to Window, Organiser, Archives. The archive will only appear if you ticked the "Generate Xcode Archive Package" tickbox in Project Settings. Then you just click Distribute and it's just does it.

Application Loader now moved to tools

You can also upload an app using the Application Loader tool by using it from the terminal:

MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ altool --upload-app -f "ios-app.ipa" -u "[email protected]" -p "yourpassword"

To use altool from anywhere in the terminal you could add it to your PATH env variable by typing in terminal:

MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framework/Support/
MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ source ~/.bash_profile

I didn't find application loader anywhere, even in spotlight. You can open it through xcode.

Go to Xcode > Open Developer Tools > Application Loader

you can find it by going to xcode > open developer tool > application Loader

For anyone finding this now (23/09/2019) Application Loader has been removed from Xcode.

If you have built the application in Xcode you should be able to follow these instructions to upload your and distribute your project Upload an app

I am not sure what to do if you have been given a .ipa file, for example when building an Expo project, I'll update this post when i have an answer.

In the mean time more info can be found here. Developer Apple - Whats new

It's in Applications > Xcode > Show package contents > Contents > Applications - but easier to open from Xcode!

Now you can upload your app binary with the Transporter app.

You can download Transporter from Mac AppStore Here

Here apple mentioned its used for uploading.

As of Xcode 11, "Application Loader is no longer included with Xcode", per the Xcode 11 Release Notes:

Xcode supports uploading apps from the Organizer window or from the command line with xcodebuild or xcrun altool. Application Loader is no longer included with Xcode. (29008875)

The Xcode Help page, Upload an app to App Store Connect, explains how to upload from the Xcode Archives Organizer.

Transporter

In October 2019, Apple announced the Transporter app for macOS, now available in the Mac App Store.

With Transporter you can:

• Upload your .ipa or .pkg files to App Store Connect.
• View delivery progress, including validation warnings, errors, and delivery logs, so you can quickly fix any issues.
• See a history of past deliveries, including date and time.

This was previously a download from iTunes Connect for qualified partners (FAQ)

Notes on Using the Command Line

I've uploaded non-Xcode builds with xcrun altool --upload-app -f path-to-build.ipa -u [email protected]. It won't show any progress, but you can see the network traffic in Activity Monitor. It finishes with No errors uploading 'path-to-build.ipa'.

See xcrun altool --help for usage. If your account has 2FA enabled, first visit https://appleid.apple.com/ and generate an app password.
