In more modern versions of Xcode, you'll find "Application Loader" under the "Xcode" menu (the first menu to the right of the Apple in the menu bar) and it'll be hiding in the "Open Developer Tools" submenu.
Solution 2 - Macos
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.

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

Application Loader now moved to tools
Solution 13 - Macos
It's in Applications > Xcode > Show package contents > Contents > Applications - but easier to open from Xcode!
Solution 14 - Macos
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 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.
