Overview

Transporter is a free Mac app from Apple for delivering content to App Store Connect. Drop in an .ipa (iOS, tvOS, visionOS) or .pkg (macOS) file and Transporter builds the package for you, validates it and uploads it. It also delivers music, video and book packages for Apple Music, the Apple TV app and Apple Books.

The app shows delivery progress, warnings, errors and logs, keeps a history of past deliveries, and sends notifications as a build is delivered, processed and imported. For scripted uploads, the iTMSTransporter command-line tool runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.
